Nice old village church - mediaeval, but heavily restored in Victorian times

Nice cafe with a small shop - great cakes, alternative milks for tea and coffee. New owners are making a real effort. Breakfast also available some days, but best to check.

Patching is a very quaint but small village that lies amid the fields and woods of the southern slopes of the South Downs in the National Park in the Arun District of West Sussex.

This lovely quaint Church was built in the 12th century, replacing an earlier Norman building. The church is small, with a plain exterior. It has a low-pitched roof on the tower; it used to have a spire, but this was removed in 1790. The church has undergone many changes over the centuries; you can just see the last remains of the older, Norman church in the walled-in window on the North side of the nave. The only remaining 12th-century structure is the South wall of the tower. The outside walls are 13th-century.
