St Botolph's Church, Heene, Anglican church in Heene, Worthing, England
St Botolph's Church is an Early English Gothic structure in Heene featuring red brick and flint walls with stone detailing and a pitched roof. The building displays the typical proportions and layout of a Victorian-era parish church.
The current building was completed in 1879 and replaced an 11th-century chapel that had been abandoned by the 18th century. The site thus evolved over more than eight centuries from a medieval place of worship to a Victorian parish church.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and shapes the character of Heene with its traditional English design. It hosts worship and community events that sustain the spiritual and social life of the neighborhood.
The building stands on Lansdowne Road and is easily accessible on foot for visitors. Specific details about visiting hours and services can be checked with staff on-site.
Remains of the original 13th-century structure are still visible near the current building, creating a physical link to medieval times. These older stones tell the story of continuous religious use at this location across generations.
