Upwaltham Church

Again using his new friend, gravity, to assist the descent, the Gorse Fox picked his way down from North Down.

The overnight rain had made the path slippery, but GF made it to the bottom without incident.

At the bottom he passed the charming little church behind Upwaltham Farm. According to West Sussex County Council:
"This is a small 12th century drovers' church with the unusual shape of a rounded chancel and it nestles in the picturesque South Downs. The west window and single lights in the apse are 14th century. There is a full set of chandeliers and a bellcote at the west end."

For more information there is "Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland"

The Gorse Fox thought it was just charming.
