Parish Church of All Saints

The Parish Church of All Saints is a Grade II* listed building located on the east side of High Street in Lindfield. It was mainly constructed around 1300 and in the 14th century, with restorations carried out in the 19th century. The church is built from Sussex and Ardingly sandstone ashlar, topped with a Horsham stone slab roof. The tower features a shingled spire adorned with an iron weather vane.

The structure includes a nave with two bays and a two-bay lower chancel that has west and south chapels, along with a south porch that has a parvise above. The west tower, built in the 14th century, is divided into three stages, featuring a trefoiled window on the bottom stage, a lancet window on the middle stage, and an oculus on the top stage, supported by offset buttresses. The south porch, also from the 14th century, has a gabled roof and a trefoliated headed window.

The nave, restored in the 19th century, has arcades of two bays on both the north and south sides, supported by octagonal piers. The nave roof, dating from the 19th century, features square braces. Inside, there are four octagonal-shaped hatchments and a 14th-century font with cusped ogee panels, accompanied by an elaborate 19th-century wooden cover and pulley mechanism. The 19th-century octagonal wooden pulpit is intricately carved with scenes from the Life of Christ, and there is a wooden screen and pews.

The chancel contains north and south chapels with typical late Perpendicular thin piers, featuring four shafts, four hollows in the moulding, and four-centred arches. The east window has been much restored, while the south transept and north chapel contain Perpendicular windows. The north chapel features a marble wall plaque dedicated to John Court Esq, who died in 1794, and an obelisk with oval medallions. The south chapel has a wall plaque for Sarah Board, who died in 1765, featuring a draped urn and coat of arms.
