St Margaret’s Church, Ditchling

THE CHURCH AND ITS HISTORY

The Church of St Margaret of Antioch is the centrepiece of the ancient and historic village of Ditchling on the borders of East and West Sussex. The present building dates from the late 12th century, sited on the sandy knoll overlooking the village. It is built on top of the earlier Saxon church referred to in the Domesday Book. Remains of the Saxon church are to be found in the lower walls of the nave.

We are very lucky to be able to visit the church on a regular basis, whether that is to celebrate or visit for educational purposes.

In January the church held their Sunday service in our school, over 50 people attended, and it was lovely to be able to show the parishioners the school and to meet our community.
