Description
The Church of St Julian is a Grade I listed building located in Shoreham-by-Sea, dating from the 11th and 13th centuries. It features a nave and north aisle, a central tower, and a chancel. The church is constructed of flint with Hythe sandstone dressings, and has Horsham slab roofs over the nave and chancel, while the tower is topped with a pyramidally-hipped pantile roof. The nave walls, dating from the 11th century, consist of two bays and have 19th-century neo-Perpendicular windows, except for a tall, very thin lancet window on the left side of the south wall. There is a small gabled south porch with a pointed-arched entrance. The tower is new and includes a buttress-stair tower on the south side.
The chancel has fourteen bays and features a separately-roofed north aisle that was rebuilt in the 20th century, extending only about half the length of the nave. Inside, there is an 18th-century two-decker pulpit made from re-used twin fold panelling, alongside two medieval bench-ends, box pews, and an early 17th-century wooden singing pew. A 13th-century screen with hanging ogees is present, as well as several tombs, including the Wroham tomb, which is late Perpendicular with an ogee arch against vertical panelling, depicting a small group of the Resurrection, Pieta, and Trinity, though it is defaced. The eastern sepulchre features a square niche with a moulded arch over a panel inside.
