Awful hotel. Filthy walls in room, filthy carpet. Strange smell in bathroom. Every wall in room a dark depressing grey colour.

Cities near Penhurst

The church probably dates back to the 12th century, and was possibly controlled by the monks of Battle Abbey in the 13th century. The church has a west tower with battlemented parapet and higher stairs turret, nave with north and south aisles, chancel, and north porch. The chancel and nave are 13th century, and there is no chancel arch. The south chancel has a small piscina. In the late 13th century the north aisle was added with a four bay arcade and octagonal piers. The tower is from the late 15th century and its proportions are similar to others in the area linked to the Pelhams, although there is no buckle, but this may have been weathered away. The south aisle was added around 1860 when further restoration was undertaken. There is an old tub font in the churchyard, which was used as a cattle trough until circa 1906. However, there is no certainty that it was a font, or belonged to the church. The churchyard has several unusual examples of terracotta embossed gravestones by Jonathan Harmer of Heathfield. There are also the remains of a couple of brasses in the church to Thomas Dyke died 1632, and his wife Joan. Only the inscription and a coat of arms remain. The church had repairs done in 1971, and in February 2013 work on the tower roof was completed, at a cost of £70,000.
