St John the Evangelist's Church, Burgess Hill

The church features red brick walls with yellow and black detailing, topped by a tall spire containing a clock from 1887.

Thomas Talbot Bury designed this Grade II* listed building, which opened in June 1863 as the first Church of England parish in Burgess Hill.

The church maintains regular Eucharist services twice on Sundays and once on Wednesdays, forming a central part of local religious life.

The building includes a nave, arcades, and stained glass windows by Mayer & Co depicting Christ the Consoler with Saint Thomas.

The churchyard contains the grave of Annie Mackintosh, with a memorial to her son Aeneas who disappeared in Antarctica during 1916.
