Welcome to the Churches of the Mid Downland Parish.
Nestling behind the South Downs, our four churches all date back to the 13th century or beyond, and are a joy to visit - places of calm and quiet in a busy world. Yet the buildings are not our only treasure.
The Mid Downland Churches are places where you will find a worshipping congregation that is warm and welcoming, and worship that is straightforward but uplifting.
Whether you are interested in the history of our lovely churches, planning a wedding or looking for a place of worship, we can guarantee a warm welcome.

The Church of St John the Evangelist is approached down a country lane that leads only to Newtimber Place, a moated house probably originally built in the 16th century, and its estate with a few cottages. A few other houses - including the Old Rectory - lie on this road. From the road, a fingerpoint signpost takes you off to the right up a long path to the church set in a beautiful and fairly isolated rural location.
