Pulborough Church, visited by the Sussex Archaeological Society, 1865. 'The annual meeting of the Sussex Archaeological Society took place at Amberley, near Arundel [in Sussex], on Thursday week. The numerous party of visitors arriving from London, Brighton, Chichester, and elsewhere by the morning trains stopped at Pulborough station, and went to look at several objects of interest in the village of Pulborough where the Rev. P. Royston kindly acted as their guide. The parish church, dedicated to St. Mary, was the first visited. It is a very ancient structure, and has the peculiarity of its chancel being not parallel with the nave but at an angle of six or seven degrees...By an inscription in the belfry we are informed that "William Ayling, William Harwood, Thomas Lucas, Charles Strudwick, Richard Andrew, John Mersh, Thomas Bennet - Beavtyfied this belfry in ye year 1735."...The tower in which the bells are hung is seventy-two feet high...There is a curious lych-gate in the churchyard of Pulborough. Mr. Gordon Hills, architect, explained the points of interest in the church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
