Church of St Elisabeth, Grade II listed religious building in Old Town, Eastbourne, England.

The Church of St Elisabeth stands with its neo-Georgian vicarage and hall, featuring simplified Gothic architecture with consistent brick construction and low-pitched roofs.

Constructed between 1935 and 1938 through Elisa Watson's £90,000 bequest, the church endured bomb damage in 1944 and underwent repairs during 1949-1950.

The interior space contains grey walls, paneled ceilings with painted bosses, galleries in the transepts, and an organ gallery at the western section.

The congregation now gathers in the former church hall since 2002, as structural issues with the original building led to its closure and subsequent demolition.

The distinctive spelling of Elisabeth in the church's name directly reflects the spelling used by its benefactor, Elisa Watson, who funded its construction.
