The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 7, 1940) notes: "The chapel, now parish church, of unknown dedication, [...] The nave dates to the early 12th century. A west tower was added c. 1200. The chancel was rebuilt later. The church was restored in 1889–90." There is mention of a font in the VCH entry for this parish, but the VCH shows a floor plan of the church interior showing the font under the tower arch. The font consists of a round and plain tapering basin raised on a circular pedestal base and an octagonal lower base; on a modern plinth with kneeling extension. The wooden cover consists of a round platform with three (?) vertical scrolls around a central pivot with a knob finial; Victorian?
