Pevsner (The buildings of England, Sussex: Harmondsworth, Penguin,1965 rev 1977 ISBN 0140710280) describes it as "a simple addition of medieval parts very typical of Sussex, mellow and gentle." It is a superb church with a plain Saxon nave and a chancel rebuilt around 1380. Again Pevsner: "simple, bold, expressive" I loved it.

The font in a Christian church is that place where new members are inducted in a ceremony known as a christening. Fonts are often symbolically placed at or near the entrance. Typically, the font is between 90 and 130 centimetres tall and sculpted in stone- although wood and metal are sometimes used. During the ceremony, a priest traces the sign of the cross on the new member’s forehead. If an infant, several adults will be asked to be godparents. They will then pledge at the font to guide the child on their Christian journey.
