Lewes Free Presbyterian Church, Grade I listed Georgian church in Cliffe district, Lewes, England.
Description
Lewes Free Presbyterian Church is a Georgian-style building in the Cliffe district with red brick walls and a columned entrance porch. The interior retains its original wooden box-pews and barrel-vaulted ceiling supported by wooden columns throughout the space.
History
The building was founded in 1805 when a group of worshippers separated from an established chapel over differences in belief. An expansion in 1826 increased the capacity to serve the growing community.
Culture
The church served as a gathering place for people seeking religious independence from the established church. Visitors can see how the space was designed to bring a community together for worship and fellowship.
Practical
The building is within easy walking distance from the town center and sits in a quiet residential area. Check beforehand if the church is open to visitors, as access may be limited outside service times.
Did you know?
The wooden box-pews inside have remained unchanged since the church opened and show how worshippers sat in the 1800s. These original furnishings offer a window into daily life in that era.
