Coombes Church, Grade I listed church building in Coombes, England
The church stands on a steep downland slope with a 16th-century porch leading to four steps down into the nave floor.
Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Cumbe', this Saxon church underwent Norman reconstruction in the late 11th century.
The walls display multiple painting layers from 1080 to 1750, including depictions of Christ, Saint Peter, Saint Mark, and a seated man on a throne.
Located four miles northeast of Worthing, the church remains accessible through Coombes Road and sits within the grounds of an operating farm.
The church bell, manufactured in France around 1150, holds the position of second oldest bell throughout the Sussex region.
