Westham, (East Sussex)
OPC for Westham is : Ruth Hansford
Email: Ruth Hansford.
St Mary's is reputed to be the first Norman church in England. Standing near the western gate of Pevensey Castle, the church originally belonged to a hospice and dates from about 1100. Externally, the only clue is on the south side, as a tower and north aisle were added in the early 15th century, and the chancel rebuilt.
