What a beautiful church and a beautiful photograph. I feel certain that my grandfather, Harry Frederick Hunt, son of Frederick Harry Hunt and Rosa Caroline Baldacci, was baptised in this church c.1863. Frederick Harry was an artist. My grandfather, Harry Frederick Hunt, came to Sydney, Australia where he married my grandmother in 1899. I have searched many records but cannot find the actual record of his baptism although his marriage and death certificates show that he was born at Rottingdean. I was in that area in 1998 when I did not have this information and would dearly love to return, but that is not possible.

I remember going to boarding school here when I was 9 yrs old. We used to go to this church every Sunday. This was in 1967. All I remember was the rainy old days and having to walk to church!

It is nice to see a picture of the church. My parents were married there, with both sister, father and grandparents buried there. After visiting recently i cannot imagine a more peaceful place to rest.
