Church in the Wood, Medieval church building in Hollington, Hastings, England
The Church in the Wood stands within ancient woodland, featuring a nave, chancel, and bell tower with Gothic architectural elements throughout the structure.
The church dates back to 1201, succeeding an 11th-century chapel mentioned in the will of the Count of Eu from 1139.
Local parishioners chose to maintain and repair the original structure in 1847 rather than replace it, leading to significant renovations in 1865.
The church maintains its status as the final private burial ground in Hastings Borough, with burial records dating from 1606.
The bell tower contains a medieval bell cast between 1371 and 1392, representing one of the oldest continuously preserved church bells in the region.
