More about this scene
This old coaching town on the London to Brighton road had the misfortune to be designated a New Town in 1947. Now swamped by housing estates, the High Street was mainly pedestrianised. However, a substantial amount was demolished, and more is soon to go at the south end. Set back behind the High Street, the church looks reassuringly medieval amid the modernity of Crawley, but in fact only the nave wall is: the tower was rebuilt in 1807 and the rest in 1880.
