As regards the Norman doorway, at any rate, he is right: there is nothing in Sussex to excel that; while in general architectural attraction the building is of the richest.

It is also a curiously homely and ingratiating church.
One of the new windows, representing St.Paul, has a peculiar interest, as the vicar tells us:--"St.Paul was a prisoner at Rome shortly after Caractacus, the British Chief, whose daughter, Claudia, married Pudens, both friends of the Apostle (2 Tim.iv.

21).

Pudens afterwards commanded the Roman soldiers stationed at Regnum (Chichester), and if St.Paul came to Britain, at Claudia's request (as ancient writers testify), he certainly would visit Sussex.

How close this brings us here in Sussex to the Bible story!" At Baylies Court, now a farmhouse, the Benedictine monks of Seez, also proteges of Robert de Montgomerie, had their chapel, remains of which are still to be seen.
Climping, which otherwise lives its own life, is the resort of golfers (who to the vicar's regret play all Sunday and turn Easter Day into "a Heathen Festival") and of the sportsmen of the Sussex Coursing Club, who find that the terrified Climping hare gives satisfaction beyond most in the county.
Of Ford, north of Climping, there is nothing to say, except that popular rumour has it that its minute and uninteresting church (the antithesis of Climping) was found one day by accident in a bed of nettles.
[Sidenote: JEFFERIES IN SUSSEX] A good eastern walk from Littlehampton takes one by the sea to Goring, and then inland over Highdown Hill to Angmering, and so to Littlehampton again or to Arundel, our present centre.
