Dallington, (East Sussex)

Parish picture

Dallington is a quiet, pretty place, off the main road and located in an idyllic spot in rural Sussex.

In 1864 the original church of St Giles was dismantled and rebuilt with only the crenulated tower and the spire surviving into the new building. The spire is a rarity in Sussex, as it is tiled in stone.

On the west face of the tower are the carved shield and buckle symbol of the Pelham family. Sir John Pelham fought in the battle of Poiters in 1356.
