St. Mary the Virgin Church, Wrawby, Lincolnshire, England
The oldest surviving building in the village is the church of St Mary, which is probably Saxon in origin. The current structure has a 13th century tower and pillars. The font is 14th century with a carved Jacobean cover. There is an altar tomb of the Tyrwhitt family, lords of the manor until the mid 17th century (a role subsequently assumed by the Elwes family). A tapestry of "Christ blessing little children" hangs in the church. Its manufacturer, Thomas Tapling of London, who was born in the village, donated it. He also endowed the Parish Reading Room (now demolished), hoping to provide all the villagers the opportunity of an education.
The graveyard surrounding the church was closed in 1857 when a new cemetery was opened on a larger site on the outskirts of Brigg, but there are still a number of fine headstones in situ for the family historian to view. [www.wrawby.org/community/library/wrawby_history_june_2005.html]

St. Peter & St. John the Baptist Church, Wivelsfield, County Sussex, England
This arch is extremely similar - indeed, nearly identical - to one at Bolney (qv), which lies only five miles away. It was probably carved by local masons in the 11thc., but whether in the Norman or Anglo-Saxon period is a matter of contention. A pre-Conquest date has been argued on the grounds of the shallow recessing of the orders, the reeded ornamentation and the tall and narrow proportions of the opening. It seems to fall into the Overlap period. [article - www.crsbi.ac.uk/ed/sx/wivel/index.htm]

St. Mary the Virgin, Barcomb, County Sussex, England -
Barcombe church is situated some distance from the centre of the village. This came about following the ravages of the plague in the 17th century, when surviving villagers rebuilt their community at Barcombe Cross, a mile from the original hamlet around the church.
The present building stands on the site of a Saxon church, and the oldest part of the structure is the north wall which was built in the 11th century. Research has revealed that the chancel and east wall are 12th century, the tower as 13th century and the font as 14th.
The Victorians subjected the building to radical alteration in 1879, including the construction of a new pine roof, replacement of the box pews, removal of the pulpit (which was subsequently returned without its sounding-board from the WIllingdon museum).
