The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 2, 1986) notes: "There was a church at Buncton by the late 11th or 12th century, as is clear from architectural evidence. [...] Buncton was a parish by 1323 [...] The structure is late 11th- or 12th-century; the north and south doorways are of that date, as is the plain chancel arch of two orders. [...] Medieval fittings are a 14th-century piscina and two possibly 15th-century image brackets on the east wall. In 1602 there was neither font nor pulpit." [NB: we have no information on the font of the 11th-12th century church here].
