List of places of worship in Arun

April 11, 2024

The district of Arun, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex, has 91 current and former places of worship. There are 71 active churches, chapels and meeting rooms and one mosque serving the dense urban development on the English Channel coast and the mostly rural hinterland of ancient towns and villages; a further 21 former places of worship still stand but are no longer in religious use.

The French Gothic Revival Roman Catholic cathedral at Arundel, built in 1870–73, dominates the town's skyline.

The 2021 United Kingdom census found that the majority of the district's population was Christian. Many churches, serving both the Church of England—the country's Established Church—and a wide variety of other Christian denominations, are located in the main towns of Littlehampton and Bognor Regis—Victorian seaside resorts which form the focal points of the nearly continuous urban area around the River Arun estuary. Surrounding villages, and their ancient and modern churches, have been absorbed by the 20th-century growth of these towns. Further north, the important hilltop town of Arundel has a Roman Catholic cathedral and a long established Church of England parish church, and was a centre of Nonconformist worship. Muslims in the area are served by a mosque and Islamic community centre in Bognor Regis.

English Heritage has awarded listed status to nearly 40 current and former church buildings in Arun. A building is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[1] The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, is responsible for this; English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of the department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[2] There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for buildings of "special interest".[3] As of February 2001, there were 23 Grade I-listed buildings, 24 with Grade II* status and 913 Grade II-listed buildings in Arun.[4]

Overview of the district and its places of worship edit

 
The district of Arun is on the West Sussex coast.
 
In the rural north of the district, churches such as this one at Patching nestle on the slopes of the South Downs.
 
St Catherine's Roman Catholic church was founded in Littlehampton in the 1860s.

The district of Arun, created in 1974, covers a 22,811-hectare (56,370-acre) area of the English Channel coast and its hinterland in the county of West Sussex.[5] Clockwise from the coast, it is bordered by the districts of Chichester, Horsham and Adur and the borough of Worthing.[6] Its name comes from the River Arun, which flows north–south through the middle of the district and reaches the sea at Littlehampton,[5] one of the main towns and the district's administrative headquarters. Littlehampton developed as a seaside resort in the 19th century; now, together with its eastern suburbs of Rustington, East Preston and Angmering (originally separate villages), it forms part of the Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton conurbation.[7][8] Each urban centre has several churches including an old Anglican parish church. West of the Arun estuary, the Bognor Regis conurbation includes the suburbs of Elmer, Middleton-on-Sea, Felpham, Aldwick and Pagham, and the 19th-century seaside resort of Bognor (suffixed Regis from 1929) itself. Many churches exist within this urban area as well. The mostly flat hinterland supports a market gardening industry and several villages and suburbs whose development was stimulated by 19th-century rail links.[5][9] Further north, on the southern slopes of the South Downs, hamlets such as Madehurst, Houghton, Burpham and Poling have existed for hundreds of years, clustered around their churches. Also in the north of the district is Arundel, an ancient hilltop town with a landmark castle and Roman Catholic cathedral which together make it "from a distance ... one of the great town views in England".[10] Until the coastal strip became heavily urbanised from the late 19th century, Arundel was the "main urban focus" of the area,[5][8] and it supported places of worship for several Christian denominations. Protestant Nonconformism was particularly strong in the town.[11]

Anglicanism, England's state religion, is represented by ancient and modern churches throughout the district. Simple Norman-era and early medieval buildings include those at Ford,[12] Burpham (whose cruciform design is uncommon in the area),[13] Tortington[14] and Pagham.[15] Another period of churchbuilding started in the 19th century in response to increasing urbanisation. In Bognor Regis, a church dedicated to St John the Baptist was built speculatively in 1821; it was pulled down in favour of Arthur Blomfield's large, "uninspired" replacement of 1886.[16] This was in turn demolished in 1972,[17] and the town's main Anglican church is now St Wilfrid's, a stone Gothic Revival building of 1910 by George Fellowes Prynne.[16] Littlehampton's parish church, dedicated to St Mary, has medieval origins but was completely rebuilt in 1826 and again in 1935[18] (in an "eerie, disembodied Gothic Revival" style according to Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner).[19] In the late 19th and 20th centuries, suburbs such as North Bersted, Aldwick and Wick were allocated parishes and given their own churches. Mission rooms—small, cheap chapels of ease in outlying settlements distant from their parish church—were opened in places such as Lidsey, Westergate[20] and Warningcamp.[21]

Roman Catholic worship was outlawed for centuries after the English Reformation, but from the mid-19th century it experienced "a striking growth ... in and around Arundel",[22] helped by the construction of the lavish Church of Our Lady and St Philip Howard in 1869–73. This became Arundel Cathedral in 1965 when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton was created, and is the administrative centre of that region. The staunchly Catholic Dukes of Norfolk, whose seat is at Arundel Castle, were influential in Catholicism's development in Arundel and the rest of England for many years.[11] An Anglican vicar of the 1860s said there were more Roman Catholics than Anglicans in the parish of Arundel, and about 750 lived in the area in 1973.[11] Elsewhere in the district, Roman Catholic worship has taken place at Slindon since the late 18th century,[11] and the present church dates from 1865; a late-19th-century priest at Arundel founded churches at Angmering, Houghton (both now closed) and Littlehampton; and Rustington and East Preston gained churches in the 20th century.[11] Monks of the Servite Order founded Bognor Regis's Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in 1881.[23]

Protestant Nonconformism—a strong force in Sussex since the 17th century—continues to thrive.[24]Baptists, Methodists, the United Reformed Church, Plymouth Brethren, Quakers and other denominations are represented in the main towns and in some cases the smaller villages: for example, Baptists have met at Walberton since the 1840s[25] and Methodists at Westergate since 1851.[26] Congregationalists—predecessors of the current United Reformed denomination—found success in Arundel, where their chapel of 1838 (now a market)[27] thrived until the late 20th century and established daughter churches in nearby villages such as Yapton.[11] Quakers in Littlehampton took over a former Penny School building as their place of worship,[28] and converted barns house Brethren in Felpham,[29] Evangelicals in Aldwick[30] and Baptists in Angmering (whose "strangely towered" former chapel[24] is now in residential use).[31] Baptists in Arundel and Walberton also sold their original chapels and built new ones.[25][32]

For centuries, coastal erosion has affected the area covered by the modern district. Several churches and whole settlements have been lost to the sea or to depopulation brought about by erosion. Cudlow and Ilsham, both in Climping parish, lost their churches by the 17th century,[33] as did nearby Atherington.[34] The church at Middleton-on-Sea fell into disrepair by the late 18th century, and the sea was eroding the graveyard, revealing dead bodies. Destruction came in 1838, when a high tide engulfed the ruins. A new church was built soon afterwards.[35] The ancient chapel of St Bartholomew at Bognor was washed away in the early 16th century.[16] In the parish of Angmering, only St Margaret's Church survives: it was described as the church of West Angmering during the medieval era, when East Angmering and Barpham each had their own building. Barpham's fell down and went out of use in the 16th century, and East Angmering's was derelict by the same time and no longer survives. Excavations in the 20th century revealed fragmentary remains of each.[36] Some other churches and chapels fell out of use before the English Reformation but survive in other uses—for example at Bilsham (now a house),[37] Nyetimber (part of a retirement home complex)[38] and Bailiffscourt (in the grounds of a luxury hotel).[34]

Religious affiliation edit

According to the 2021 United Kingdom census, 164,889 lived in Arun district. Of these, 52.11% identified themselves as Christian, 0.7% were Muslim, 0.3% were Buddhist, 0.24% were Hindu, 0.16% were Jewish, 0.05% were Sikh, 0.52% followed another religion, 39.88% claimed no religious affiliation and 6.04% did not state their religion.[39] The proportions of Christians and people who followed no religion were higher than the figures in England as a whole (46.32% and 36.67% respectively). Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism had a lower following in the district than in the country overall: in 2021, 6.73% of people in England were Muslim, 1.81% were Hindu, 0.92% were Sikh, 0.48% were Jewish and 0.46% were Buddhist.[40]

Administration edit

All Anglican churches in Arun district are part of the Diocese of Chichester, whose cathedral is at Chichester,[41] and (with one exception) the Archdeaconry of Chichester—one of three subdivisions which make up the next highest level of administration.[42] In turn, this archdeaconry is divided into five deaneries.[42] The churches at Clapham, Ferring, Findon and Patching are in the Rural Deanery of Worthing.[43] Those at Aldingbourne, Aldwick, Angmering, Arundel, Barnham, Binsted, Bognor Regis, Burpham, Climping, East Preston, Eastergate, Felpham, Ford, Lyminster, Madehurst, Middleton-on-Sea, North Bersted, Pagham, Poling, Rustington, Slindon, South Bersted, South Stoke, Walberton, Wick and Yapton, and the two in Littlehampton, are part of the Rural Deanery of Arundel and Bognor.[44]Houghton's church is within the Rural Deanery of Petworth in the Archdeaconry of Horsham.[42][45]

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, whose cathedral is at Arundel,[46] administers the district's seven Roman Catholic churches. Arundel Cathedral itself, and the three churches (Bognor Regis, Rose Green and Slindon) which make up Bognor Regis and Slindon parish, are in Cathedral Deanery.[46] East Preston, Littlehampton and Rustington's churches are part of Worthing Deanery. Littlehampton is part of a joint parish with Rustington.[47] A Vigil Mass (First Mass of Sunday) is also offered at the chapel of the Convent of the Poor Clares at Crossbush and is open to the public; this location is part of Cathedral Deanery.[46]

Some Methodist and United Reformed churches in the district are part of the South West Sussex United Area, founded in January 2010 as an ecumenical arrangement between the local Methodist Circuit and the Southern Synod of the United Reformed Church. Bognor Regis, Felpham, Rustington and Westergate Methodist Churches, Pagham and Rustington United Reformed Churches and the Littlehampton United Church (a joint congregation of both denominations) are part of the United Area.[48]

Baptist churches at Angmering, Aldwick, Arundel, Bognor Regis, Ferring and Littlehampton are administratively part of the West Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association.[49]

The tall, wide church, built of stone with a multicoloured brick interior, appears unfinished: the two-bay nave is shorter than intended. An apse beyond it contains a Lady chapel. Now a parish church, it used to be a chapel of ease to the now demolished St John the Baptist's Church. [16][54]

Designed by Joseph Stanislaus Hansom, it was founded on 26 October 1881 and opened on 16 August 1882. Its tall west façade faces a narrow road, and the building goes back a long way: the interior feels open and spacious, although there are side chapels. The five-bay nave was extended by W.C. Mangan in 1955–57; he also added transepts, a Lady chapel and other rooms. The Early English Gothic Revival church is mostly of yellow brick and stone. Some windows are in the more intricate Perpendicular style. It was listed in June 2015. [16][17]

The first building, now the church hall, dates from 1957; an extension built in 1987 created a new church adjoining this. Its tile-clad pyramid roof hides a square building. The church was registered for worship in August 1958, and its marriage registration dates from May 1960. [110][111]

The flint and stone building apparently had apsidal transepts originally. Giles Gilbert Scott's restoration of 1866–68 affected the fittings more than the exterior. The king post timber roof is 15th-century. [132][133]

Most of the fabric is Norman, but a distinctive semicircular-gabled brick porch was added to the flint and pebble exterior in 1637 and some restoration took place in 1865. A vestry was added in about 1900. [12][135]

Architects Wheeler and Godman replaced the temporary structure with the present flint and brick Gothic Revival-style church in 1908–10. An intended chancel was never added, and neither was a hall planned in 1949; the west wall is therefore plain. The font, reredos and lectern came from St Mary's Church. [28][139]

They moved from their temporary home in a hall to this stone-dressed red-brick "late medieval-style" chapel in 1910 and registered it for worship in October of that year. Subsequent enlargement was needed to cater for ever increasing membership, which exceeded 200 by 1985. [28][141]

The land was needed for roadbuilding in 1972, so the council helped the congregation move to a new site on St Flora's Road, where the present brick building was opened in 1973. It was recorded as a Brethren chapel in 1975, and when registered in June 1973 it was also described as Christian Brethren. [141][143]

Up to 65 pupils were on the roll, but it went out of use and was taken on by a succession of religious groups: Baptists, the Salvation Army and (from 1925) Exclusive Brethren. Quakers acquired it in 1965. The "fine" cobbled flint façade has some grey brickwork and pointed-arched windows with inset lancets. [28][141]

As one of the earliest Roman Catholic churches in Sussex, it initially served a large area—as far as Bognor Regis, Ferring and Westergate. The exterior has gables, lancets and rose windows, and there is much marblework inside. [19][28]

Stapleton's stone Early English-style church of 1861 was built for Congregationalists. Transepts were built in 1874, and the roof has a turret-like spire. Since 1980, the church has been shared with Methodists, whose three former churches were at Terminus Road (1825–1898; demolished 1981), New Road (1896–1980; demolished 1982) and Wick (1876–1968; demolished 1968).

Coastal erosion in the 18th century destroyed the graveyard and later the building itself: little remained by 1838, when a high tide wrecked it, and the ruins were removed by the time the new church was built nearby in 1849. The single-cell building was extended in 1929, 1949 and 1978. [35][161]

Repeated restorations in the 19th centuries, latterly by Henry Woodyer (1888–89), were responsible for the current appearance of the small church, which has a chancel, nave, porch, vestry and side tower with a shingle-hung spire.

The district of Arun is on the West Sussex coast nbsp In the rural north of the district churches such as this one at Patching nestle on the slopes of the South Downs nbsp St Catherine s Roman Catholic church was founded in Littlehampton in the 1860s The district of Arun created in 1974 covers a 22 811 hectare 56 370 acre area of the English Channel coast and its hinterland in the county of West Sussex 5 Clockwise from the coast it is bordered by the districts of Chichester Horsham and Adur and the borough of Worthing 6 Its name comes from the River Arun which flows north south through the middle of the district and reaches the sea at Littlehampton 5 one of the main towns and the district s administrative headquarters Littlehampton developed as a seaside resort in the 19th century now together with its eastern suburbs of Rustington East Preston and Angmering originally separate villages it forms part of the Brighton Worthing Littlehampton conurbation 7 8 Each urban centre has several churches including an old Anglican parish church West of the Arun estuary the Bognor Regis conurbation includes the suburbs of Elmer Middleton on Sea Felpham Aldwick and Pagham and the 19th century seaside resort of Bognor suffixed Regis from 1929 itself Many churches exist within this urban area as well The mostly flat hinterland supports a market gardening industry and several villages and suburbs whose development was stimulated by 19th century rail links 5 9 Further north on the southern slopes of the South Downs hamlets such as Madehurst Houghton Burpham and Poling have existed for hundreds of years clustered around their churches Also in the north of the district is Arundel an ancient hilltop town with a landmark castle and Roman Catholic cathedral which together make it from a distance one of the great town views in England 10 Until the coastal strip became heavily urbanised from the late 19th century Arundel was the main urban focus of the area 5 8 and it supported places of worship for several Christian denominations Protestant Nonconformism was particularly strong in the town 11 Anglicanism England s state religion is represented by ancient and modern churches throughout the district Simple Norman era and early medieval buildings include those at Ford 12 Burpham whose cruciform design is uncommon in the area 13 Tortington 14 and Pagham 15 Another period of churchbuilding started in the 19th century in response to increasing urbanisation In Bognor Regis a church dedicated to St John the Baptist was built speculatively in 1821 it was pulled down in favour of Arthur Blomfield s large uninspired replacement of 1886 16 This was in turn demolished in 1972 17 and the town s main Anglican church is now St Wilfrid s a stone Gothic Revival building of 1910 by George Fellowes Prynne 16 Littlehampton s parish church dedicated to St Mary has medieval origins but was completely rebuilt in 1826 and again in 1935 18 in an eerie disembodied Gothic Revival style according to Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner 19 In the late 19th and 20th centuries suburbs such as North Bersted Aldwick and Wick were allocated parishes and given their own churches Mission rooms small cheap chapels of ease in outlying settlements distant from their parish church were opened in places such as Lidsey Westergate 20 and Warningcamp 21 Roman Catholic worship was outlawed for centuries after the English Reformation but from the mid 19th century it experienced a striking growth in and around Arundel 22 helped by the construction of the lavish Church of Our Lady and St Philip Howard in 1869 73 This became Arundel Cathedral in 1965 when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arundel and Brighton was created and is the administrative centre of that region The staunchly Catholic Dukes of Norfolk whose seat is at Arundel Castle were influential in Catholicism s development in Arundel and the rest of England for many years 11 An Anglican vicar of the 1860s said there were more Roman Catholics than Anglicans in the parish of Arundel and about 750 lived in the area in 1973 11 Elsewhere in the district Roman Catholic worship has taken place at Slindon since the late 18th century 11 and the present church dates from 1865 a late 19th century priest at Arundel founded churches at Angmering Houghton both now closed and Littlehampton and Rustington and East Preston gained churches in the 20th century 11 Monks of the Servite Order founded Bognor Regis s Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in 1881 23 Protestant Nonconformism a strong force in Sussex since the 17th century continues to thrive 24 Baptists Methodists the United Reformed Church Plymouth Brethren Quakers and other denominations are represented in the main towns and in some cases the smaller villages for example Baptists have met at Walberton since the 1840s 25 and Methodists at Westergate since 1851 26 Congregationalists predecessors of the current United Reformed denomination found success in Arundel where their chapel of 1838 now a market 27 thrived until the late 20th century and established daughter churches in nearby villages such as Yapton 11 Quakers in Littlehampton took over a former Penny School building as their place of worship 28 and converted barns house Brethren in Felpham 29 Evangelicals in Aldwick 30 and Baptists in Angmering whose strangely towered former chapel 24 is now in residential use 31 Baptists in Arundel and Walberton also sold their original chapels and built new ones 25 32 For centuries coastal erosion has affected the area covered by the modern district Several churches and whole settlements have been lost to the sea or to depopulation brought about by erosion Cudlow and Ilsham both in Climping parish lost their churches by the 17th century 33 as did nearby Atherington 34 The church at Middleton on Sea fell into disrepair by the late 18th century and the sea was eroding the graveyard revealing dead bodies Destruction came in 1838 when a high tide engulfed the ruins A new church was built soon afterwards 35 The ancient chapel of St Bartholomew at Bognor was washed away in the early 16th century 16 In the parish of Angmering only St Margaret s Church survives it was described as the church of West Angmering during the medieval era when East Angmering and Barpham each had their own building Barpham s fell down and went out of use in the 16th century and East Angmering s was derelict by the same time and no longer survives Excavations in the 20th century revealed fragmentary remains of each 36 Some other churches and chapels fell out of use before the English Reformation but survive in other uses for example at Bilsham now a house 37 Nyetimber part of a retirement home complex 38 and Bailiffscourt in the grounds of a luxury hotel 34 Religious affiliation editAccording to the 2021 United Kingdom census 164 889 lived in Arun district Of these 52 11 identified themselves as Christian 0 7 were Muslim 0 3 were Buddhist
