Church Of The Transfiguration, Pyecombe

The Church of the Transfiguration is an Anglican church in the village of Pyecombe, in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. The mostly 12th- and 13th-century building, in an isolated setting facing the South Downs, has been designated a Grade I Listed building. It is the parish church of Pyecombe. HistoryThe small village of Pyecombe is situated in a long, deep valley formed by the river Wellesbourne as it flows towards the English Channel at Brighton. The South Downs rise to about 700ft to the east and west. The village is in two parts about 0. 25mi apart. The original medieval settlement formed around the church and an ancient trackway across the South Downs; when this declined, new development took place to the west. A 16th-century cottage which may have been part of the manor house is in this newer area. Pyecombe manor was probably split from the larger manor of Pangdean by the 13th century, although they were later reunited.
