More about this scene
One of the earliest references to the church in Hailsham is in 1229, some thirty years before Henry II granted the already existing town a market charter. However, the town was served originally by a chapel-of-ease from Hellingly parish, which may explain why Hailsham's church is built behind the High Street rather than within it. This view, from the south east near Vicarage Road, shows a heavily Victorianised medieval church; it further suffered in 1943 when a bomb blast destroyed all its stained glass.
