The Church of St,Peter, Hamsey VIllage.

When we lived in East Sussex, this lovely little church was our village church. We went back to see it and were horrified to find that it has been abandoned by the church of England. The actual date of construction is undetermined, but there was a church on this site in 925. It has been a parish church since the Norman Conquest in 1066. It also has a mention in the Doomsday Book written in 1086. The one thing that I remember about it is the fact that there are two headstones side by side simply engraved with the skull and crossbones, both victims of the Black Death between 1348 and 1350.
