Hiking

St John the Evangelist, a Grade I Listed church, is perched on high ground close to the River Arun in Bury. Following the Norman conquest, the parish of Bury was given to the abbey of Fécamp in Normandy. It seems likely, therefore, that the present church was built under the direction of the abbey. Certainly the tower and nave are 12th century, and the south aisle dates from about 1200. The most noticeable feature on approaching St John’s is the broad shingled spire. It is believed this was built when the church roof was restored in 1603.
