Description

The Parish Church of St Peter is located on Selsey High Street and features a chancel, nave with aisles, an east porch, and a shingled bell-turret with a small spire at the south end of the nave. The original parish church was situated at Church Norton, northeast of the village. In 1865, the nave of that earlier building was demolished, and the parish church was established in High Street. The new church incorporates the late 12th century arcades of three bays from the original structure, while the remainder was designed in the style of the 13th century by J P St Aubyn.
