c) STANMER CHURCH: Standing on the site of a fourteenth-century church destroyed by fire, Stanmer Church was erected in 1838 but has an unknown dedication. Now listed, it was built in Early English style with a thin western tower and spire, and is faced in knapped flint with stone dressings. On the north wall of the nave is a memorial of 1580 to Sir John Pelham. The ecclesiastical parish of Stanmer has been united with Falmer since 1835, and also with Moulsecoomb from 1956 until 1976. {1,228}
