Harrison (1920) reports a Perpendicular font in this church, and adds, "Of the earliest building, which may be pre-Conquest, there are traces in the nave; the tower is Nor[man]". The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 2, 1986) notes: "A church stood at Sullington by the 11th century. [...] The long and short quoins of the tower and of the east wall of the nave indicate that those parts were built in the later 10th or earlier 11th century. [...] The octagonal font with quatrefoil panels is 15th-century." Described in Whiteman (1994): "The Perpendicular font has carved quatrefoils". [NB: we have no information on the font from the 10th- or 11th-century church here].
