Guide to the Church of Southease, by Walter H. Godfrey, F.S.A., published 1936 (Sussex Churches No. 6, pamphlet, 7 pp., Sussex Archæological Society) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 5961] & East Sussex Libraries

The latest Church Guide to be published under the auspices of the Sussex Archaeological Society is that dealing with the little church of Southease in the Ouse valley between Lewes and the sea. Its distinctive feature is its round tower. This, Mr. Godfrey dates as early 12th century, the oldest part of the existing building. The history of the Church, however, goes back to Saxon times and an early mention of it is made in King Edgar's charter to the Abbey of St. Peter, later called Newminster and afterwards Hyde Abbey, at Winchester. This charter, dated 966, is a prized possession of the British Museum and is generally on exhibition in the corridor under the clock. Mr. Godfrey has reproduced a leaf from the charter which contains the reference to Southease and also to the neighbouring church of Telscombe. Being written in thick gold it does not come out as black as if written in ink, but the words 'ecclesia sueise' will be found at the end of the fourth line from the bottom, the last two letters 'se' running over to the beginning of the third line, followed by the word 'titelescumbe' (the old form of Telscombe) in the second line from the bottom.
Mr. Godfrey refers to two memorial stones in the Church. A further account of one of them, Dr. Edward Boughen, occurs on p.52 of the present number of S.N.Q.
The wall paintings are fully described and with a picture of the Church and a list of Incumbents as far as known, make up a very excellent booklet, well worth the modest 6d
