Description

Southernhay Congregational Church was built in 1868 by Tarring. Currently, only the tower and spire remain, as the rest of the church was modernized in 1956. The tower is constructed from three stages of limestone rubble and features dressed corner buttresses. It has an octagonal spire, contributing to its scenic value.
