I was recently enjoying the morning sun, the flowers and pondering the futility of our short lives while reading the tombstones on Saint Wulfran's. A beautiful church with a beautiful yard on a beautiful quiet location only a few minutes away from busy Brighton. Worth a visit.

St Wulfran's Church, dedicated to the 7th-century French archbishop Wulfram of Sens, is an Anglican church in Ovingdean, a rural village now within the English city of Brighton and Hove. Parts of the structure date from the early 12th century, and the church is listed at Grade I, a designation used for buildings "of outstanding architectural or historic interest". St Wulfran's Church is built entirely of flint, other than narrow stone quoins at the corners of walls. Although churches incorporating some flint are common in Sussex, St Wulfran's is the only all-flint church in the historic county. The roof was originally slate, but tiles have replaced most of the slate slabs. The two-stage tower is topped with a shallow pyramid-shaped spire of a design known as the "Sussex Cap", and has a circular corbel of similar height in its southeastern corner. There are lancet windows of various sizes on all sides of the church and in the tower. Kempe's stained glass can be found in one of the tower windows, the south chapel, the north wall three windows and the south wall two. Internally, there are several arches, some with pointed tops and chamfering; in particular, there are three arched entrances to the chapel on the south side, and a blocked entrance to the former south aisle. The churchyard is entered on the east side through a steep-roofed lychgate with recessed seating. "Holiness unto the Lord" is carved on one of the wooden beams.

This little church is worth the visit. You can easily access it by taking bus 52. The construction of the church started in the 11th century and it is listed at Grade 1. The chancel arches were designed by Charles Eamer Kempe who is buried there and they are stunning. It is many built in flint which gives a raw, authentic aspect. The churchyard is entered through a steep-roofed lychgate which is unique and interesting. There is a beautiful view from the graveyard onto the church. Free drinks tea, coffee, water, juice are provided inside donations are walcome. This church is ideal for silent prayer and contemplation.

Incredibly old church dates back to the Norman invasion 1066. Hard ro think a building could still be in use . Some ancient tombstones in the graveyard.

Beautiful 11th century church and nice walk around the graveyard in the sun.

Lovely church.  Beautiful surroundings

Very beautiful church.

Lovely little church we stumbled by.

Beautiful and atmospheric little church. Well worth a visit.
