Durrington in Worthing

Harrington (1920) mentions an old chapel of the Early English period here, demolished ca. 1650. The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 6, pt. 1, 1980) notes: "There was a church at Durrington in 1086, [...] which was presumably then as later a chapel of West Tarring. [...] In the early 16th century services were still held at Durrington [...] the chapel was severely damaged during the Civil War and never repaired afterwards. In 1680 in response to a petition the inhabitants were excused rebuilding it and given leave to attend West Tarring church instead. [...] By 1777, [...] and perhaps long before, the chapel lay in ruins. [...] The old chapel at Durrington, originally it seems dedicated to St. Nicholas, and from c. 1260 to St. Thomas Becket [...] Parts of the walls of the chapel, which survived up to c. 12 ft. high, were incorporated in the church of ST. SYMPHORIAN, of flint and stone, which was built in 1915–16." [NB: we have no information on the font of the old chapel here].
