Preview:A substantial truth, to which every Sussex resident can surely attest, in architectural terms, is the legacy of countless generations of masons and craftsmen active during the Middle Ages. Of the myriad of extant monuments to consider this research examines the cruciform parish churches and chapels of the Anglo-Norman period c. 1066-c. 1200. Not only was this a particularly intriguing period in Sussex from a political point of view, it was also one of intense architectural activity and change.
