A late 12th or early 13th-century church set in fields, almost unchanged from the day it was built. When St Michael's was threatened by closure some four decades ago, a group of local people formed a charitable trust to look after it. A program of careful restoration undertaken by the trust has revealed very rare 13th-century wall paintings hidden beneath the grime of centuries.

Holy Sepulchre is a simple early medieval church near the Iron Age fort of Chanctonbury Ring. The church dates to around 1220 and may stand on the site of an earlier 11th-century building. There was certainly a church here as early as the late 12th century when the village name was given as 'Werningcherch'.

This 11th-century church beside West Dean Gardens was destroyed by a fire in 1934, leaving behind only a few reminders of the church's heritage. Look for the 1624 monument to Sir Richard Lewknor and the effigy of William James, owner of West Dean Park.
