Church of St Peter, Cowfold

About

St Peter's Church, Cowfold is a Church of England parish church in the village of Cowfold, West Sussex. First recorded in 1232 as a chapelry of St Peter's, Henfield, it still retains some features of the Early English original building but is mainly Perpendicular in style and, apart from some 19th-century arches, entirely medieval. It is known for its magnificent 15th-century memorial brass to Thomas Nelond, Prior of Lewes, its medieval stained glass, and its churchyard's rare "church marks" boundary fence. English Heritage has listed St Nicholas' Church at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance.
