FROM c. 1400 TO c. 1500 



Most Sussex churches show inserted windows, doors, tombs, or other features in this period. 

 Some few were practically rebuilt therein, and a large number had towers added towards the close 

 of the century. Of the last, a group in East Sussex is identified with the Pelham family, whose 

 cognizance the Buckle is carved in the stonework or worked into the window tracery. It is 

 difficult to date these exactly, and possibly some belong to the succeeding period. Ancient seating, 

 stalls, and screen-work of this period remain in a few churches.
