St Michael and All Angels Church, Southwick, Medieval parish church in Southwick, England
St Michael and All Angels Church is a stone-built medieval parish church in Southwick featuring a three-stage tower topped with a shingled spire. The building displays lancet windows and flint walls with stone dressings that show the construction methods typical of that period.
An original Saxon structure on this site was replaced by a stone building before 1086, as recorded in the Domesday survey. The Knights Templar held patronage of the church in the late 12th century before it passed to the Knights Hospitaller around 1365.
The church maintains war graves of ten individuals who served in various conflicts, preserving the memory of local military contributions.
The site is easily accessible for visitors wishing to explore an active parish church where services are held regularly. Visitors should check ahead to ensure they arrive at a suitable time for their visit.
The church was controlled by two successive military orders whose influence shaped its development over centuries. These connections to monastic power remain visible in local records today.
