St Julian's Church, Kingston Buci

St Julian's Church features flint walls with stone dressings, incorporating a nave, north aisle, chancel, and central tower representing classic Romanesque design elements.

The church foundations and surviving nave walls predate the Norman conquest, with archaeological excavations in the 1960s confirming their late Saxon origins.

The church interior contains the Lewknor family tomb, an 18th-century pulpit, and a preserved 14th-century chancel screen showcasing different periods of religious craftsmanship.

The structure maintains regular Anglican services and stands as one of seven Grade I listed buildings in the Adur district of West Sussex.

The church previously contained an anchorite's cell for hermits pursuing religious solitude, with the connecting window to the chancel still visible today.
