Some views of the Priory Church at Boxgrove."Building of the Benedictine priory began early in the 12th century after land at Boxgrove had been donated to the Abbey at Lessay by Lord of Halnaker (Robert de la Haye). Descendants of this Anglo-Norman family remained patrons of Boxgrove Priory until a few years after the Dissolution, when the 9th Lord de la Warr exchanged it for a Hampshire estate."

The Priory church is still in use as the Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaise.
The Gorse Fox loves flying buttresses, and this was an excellent example (though not particularly high).
Inside the church is a stunning painted ceiling and a wonderful stained glass window.
