The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 5, pt.1, 1997) notes: "There was a church at Ilsham by c. 1220. [...] The last known rector was appointed in 1416. [...] The date of demolition of the church is not known, but was perhaps before the early 16th century when Ilsham was described as in Climping parish." [NB: we have no information on the medieval font of the disappeared church].
