| Piddinghoe is a small village mile or so above Newhaven, at the point where the Ouse comes close to the Downs on the west side of the valley. Its church is one of three in the area with a round tower. Like the basic outline of the nave, including some walling, this is early C12, with a plain round-headed arch inside that is little larger than a doorway and round-headed bell-openings. Slightly pointed lower west windows may suggest . The octagonal shingled spire, like a dunceââ¬â¢s cap, may not be in its original state, but is unchanged 1802. The weather vane is unusual, shaped like a sea trout and probably 18th century. |
