A History of the Parish Church of St Helen, Ore, by F. W. B. Bullock, published 1951 (St. Leonards-on-Sea: Budd & Gillatt) accessible at: East Sussex Libraries

Canon Bullock has followed up his study of Hollington Church with this work on Ore Church. It shows a similar prodigious industry in the exhaustive search and recording of details; but in this case the results have been more rewarding. The old church now survives only as ruins and in a number of views published by Canon Bullock in a Short Guide (2s.). It was of, probably, pre-Conquest origin but had fallen into great disrepair by 1869, when a new church on another site was erected. To this was removed the interesting civilian brass and other monuments. Canon Bullock, whose father held the living for 32 years, gives an account of the rectors, so far as known, from 1361, with much detail, particularly in the case of Devey Fearon, M.D., the most outstanding incumbent, who was rector from 1815 to 1847. The book is a valuable addition to the local history of Sussex.
