Review by G. D. J. [G. D. Johnston] in Sussex Notes and Queries, May 1968:
The Author - one of our Vice-Presidents - is well known to us by his descriptions of the Churches we visit from time to time, in particular North Stoke last June. It is a welcome, lucid and well-written historical account of the architecture of Sussex Churches explaining the accepted divisions of Norman, Early English, Transitional, Decorated and Perpendicular styles and continuing through the barren post-Reformation period down to the Victorian revival and the present day. It treats Architecture as a living growing science and explains reasons for changes (such as the shape of the arch) and is illustrated by numerous very clear drawings mostly by the Author and is to be strongly recommended to all our Members as a background to visits to Churches.
In a later Edition it might be useful to add a short glossary of unusual terms which are apt to puzzle or deter the tyro and note that the present Stopham Bridge was built by the Rector, Canon Harlyng, about 1423.
