The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 1, 1980) notes: "The church of Botolphs is identical with the 'lost' church of St. Peter of Old Bridge (de Veteri Ponte) mentioned frequently in the Middle Ages. [...] from architectural evidence, Botolphs church was in existence before the Norman Conquest [...] The church was granted by William de Braose c. 1080 to the church of St. Florent, Saumur. [...] It was apparently already parochial by that date [...] The nave is probably 11th-century and has a pre-Conquest chancel arch [...] the font, comprising a square bowl on a brick plinth, is possibly 18thcentury." [NB: this font should be examined more closely; the basin is clearly modern; the pedestal is whitewashed all over and mey be made of brick; the lower base, however, could be part of an old font, unless the whitewash is covering brick as well -- we have no information on the font(s) of the medieval church here].
