Reviews
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.

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 The churchyard surrounds the church on three sides, and is home to an ancient yew tree which may be up to 1,000 years old. William Willett, a campaigner for daylight saving time, and Brighton-born inventor Magnus Volk—a pioneering electrical engineer who built an early electric car and the Volk's Railway, the world's oldest surviving electric railway —are buried in the churchyard. Members of the Kemp(e) family, including Charles Eamer Kempe himself, are also buried there. Nathaniel Kemp, who built the 18th-century Ovingdean Hall, the main building in the village, and his wife Martha share a tomb on the south side of the church; the tombstone was designed by Charles, who was later buried in the same tomb. The grave of Helena Normanton, the first woman to practise as a barrister in the United Kingdom, can also be found. Resident in Brighton since the age of four, she campaigned for various rights for women, such as advocating the use of maiden names professionally and recommending that women save any spare housekeeping money for their own use. She was also the first benefactor of the nearby University of Sussex. The Jex-Blake family, who lived in Brighton for a time, have a large, ornate tomb in the churchyard, although their most notable member is not buried there. Sophia Jex-Blake is commemorated on the memorial stone, however. She overcame opposition to train as one of the first female doctors in the United Kingdom, helped to found the London and Edinburgh Schools of Medicine for Women, and started a women's and children's hospital in Edinburgh. Back in 2008 i was granted leave from operational tour (Herrick 8) to attend this 17th century church of which my sister Emma was married. It holds some key characters in the graveyard
