History of Warminghurst Church

Warminghurst Church is a historic 13th century church that stands alone between the villages of Ashington and Thakeham, with views overlooking Chanctonbury Ring on the South Downs.

No longer in service in the parish, it was vested to the Churches Conservation Trust in 1980, a charitable trust that maintains and preserves these historic buildings for future generations. The Friends of the church are a volunteer group that works to put on events and encourage visitors to the church.
