St Margaret's Church, Rottingdean

Did any of you out there know, that if it wasn't for one of St Margaret's vicars and his church wardens, in the 1940s, the church would have been dismantled stone by stone and shipped out to California. When the Forest Lawns was being built in Los Angeles, an offer was made to buy the church, but was turned down. To compromise, the Church of the Recessional Forest Lawn was built. The exterior is the exact replica of St Margaret's.
Is anyone able to tell me please, where the Baptism records for St.Margaret's for c.1863 are? Are they still with the church or have they been placed in archives?
