A stoup in this chruch is reported in Harrison (1920). The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 7, 1940) notes: "The church, of which the invocation is unknown, consists of a nave, the eastern end of which forms the chancel, a circular western tower, and a south porch. It had in addition a chancel, and short aisles on either side of the eastern part of the nave. These aisles are in the form of pre-Conquest portici, and as the nave is apparently of the pre-Conquest period, the vanished aisles may have been contemporary with it. [...] in the eastern reveal of the south door is a stoup formed from a Norman cubical capital, apparently once the head of a pillar piscina." Noted in the CRSBI (2008): "A stoup [...] in the form of a cushion capital".
