A flint-built Grade I listed church, one of only three apsidal ended medieval churches in Sussex. A major fundraising achievement, the building was considered no longer ‘At Risk’ due to successful repairs to the chancel including the removal of the cement render and with new lime render in place, proper drainage and other stonework repairs completed.

VIHARA BUILDING, WEST SUSSEX
The new Vihara building extends facilities at a West Sussex based Monastery, providing for a range of activities and a quiet withdrawal or refuge space. The design aim was to integrate well with the other monastery buildings and their overall layout, linked by cloisters around enclosed garden areas, using the same oak frame carpentry building method.
