The prayer of St Richard of Chichester:

Thanks be to thee, Our Lord Jesus Christ,

for all the benefits which thou hast given us,

for all the pains and insults

which thou hast borne for us.

O most merciful Redeemer, Friend and Brother,

may we know thee more clearly,

love thee more dearly,

and follow thee more nearly. Amen.

Here is our church of which we are very proud. There has been a good deal of work done  in the last few years. Much restoration has been done to the roof, the stonework has been re-pointed. A new lightning conductor has been fitted with new earthing rods and a Faraday Cage surrounds the church to protect the building if the lightning should strike a part of the building away from the spire. The clock has been refurbished with automatic winding gear for the clock and the chiming mechanism. A state of the art time keeping system changesthe length of the pendulum to keep the clock chiming to within about 10 seconds of true time at Greenwich. We have repainted and updated the Sacristry and the choir vestry and fitted new glass doors. All praise to those who contributed their time and money to the project. Our thanks are also due to English Heritage who contributed to the work.

Maintenance of a Grade 1 listed church costs money and we are now looking for new financial help for this and the addition of toilets to the church.

We can take pride in the knowledge that we pass on the church to future generations in tip top condition.
