The Victoria County History (Sussex, vol. 2, 1973) reports a priory dedicated to St. Bartholomew founded "sometime before 1151 [...]The land on which the hospital, or Augustinian priory, was built, was called Pynham, but the priory was more usually known as 'the Causeway' (de Calceto, la Chaucée). It was originally under the patronage of St. Bartholomew, but an attempt was apparently made to add St. Thomas of Canterbury's title, though this latter did not long continue patron [...] in 1525, the priory was suppressed, [...] and in the following year the bishop, dean, and chapter of Chichester quitclaimed the site of the monastery to the authorities of Cardinal's College, Oxford". At present all that remains of old priory is a part of a farmhouse [NB: we have no information on the font from the medieval church here].
