| The Parish Church next engages our attention. The greater part of the old church, which was dedicated to the 'Holy Cross', was taken down in 1839/1840 having long been found, even with the aid of deep galleries on three sides of it, wholly inadequate to the requirements of the fast-increasing population of the parish-and the present more commodious church erected on its site. The former building was picturesque, but devoid of architectural interest. | |||||

| The church of the Holy Cross is a plain stone structure; it has nave, aisles, chancel, squire tower, with 8 bells, two side galleries, and a very handsome carved stone pulpit: the nave was enlarged in 1840, by which extra accommodation was obtained, and it now contains about 920 sittings, 520 of which are free: a brass in front of the communion table commemorates the death of John Fuller, Gent., who died in 1610, and left 10s. a year for ever, to he divided among the poor of Chiddington, Penshurst, Isfield, and Uckfield parishes; there are also several other charities. The living is a perpetual curacy, of which the tithes were commuted at £335 2s. 6d., with half an acre of glebe, in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and held by the Rev. Edward Thomas Cardale. | |||||
