St Wulfran's Church, Ovingdean, Medieval church in Ovingdean, England.

The north wall displays intricate flint construction with herringbone masonry and features a broad round-headed doorway with two stepped orders.

Built around 1100, the church appears in the Domesday Book as an ecclesiola and stands as the oldest structure in Brighton and Hove.

The chancel contains painted decorations and stained glass windows created by C E Kempe, reflecting the artistic heritage of local craftsmanship.

Visitors can access the church daily between 9 AM and 5 PM through the A259 coast road or the B2123 from the A27.

The chancel floor remained below the nave level until 1801, creating an architectural configuration rarely found in English churches.
