- The Church of St Mary the Virgin is a Grade II listed Anglican church in the village of Glynde in East Sussex. It was built in the 1760s by Richard Trevor, bishop of Durham, whose family seat was the adjacent Glynde Place.
There was a medieval church, which stood at an angle to the present building; little is known about it.
A new church was built on the site by Richard Trevor, who was Bishop of Durham from 1752 to 1771, and a member of the Trevor family who owned Glynde Place. It was designed by Sir Thomas Robinson, who had worked for Richard Trevor on his Bishop's Palace in County Durham. The work was done by John Morris, a builder from the nearby town of Lewes.
The demolition of the old church, which was in a poor condition, began on 1 August 1763. The foundation and vault of the new church were built that year; the superstructure was built in 1764; the building was completed in 1765. The first service in the new church took place on Sunday 30 June of that year. A newspaper at the time reported that it is "a neat and elegant building, and is very decently ornamented."
Sir Thomas Robinson had visited Italy and was enthusiastic about Renaissance architecture: the church is built in Palladian style
The walls are faced with knapped flint and have an ashlar base. In the tympanum of the pediment above the west wall, the coat of arms of Richard Trevor is displayed in Portland stone. Above the pediment is a bell, housed in an open ashlar belfry.
The space inside is a perfect rectangle, except that the communion table is in a recess in the thickness of the east wall. There is a coved ceiling. Most of the interior details, including the box pews, are contemporary with the building. In 1841 a gallery, to accommodate more people, was built at the west end.
In the video i miss spelt the word Palladian.

A lovely little church, unusual to have a fabric wall covering.
Hi Kevin Cynthia and Sue wow what an amazing church beautiful and the stain glass windows where so beautiful and different lovely warm feeling when you go into the church perhaps it was the wall covering that made it feel like that wonderful great video Kevin thankyou very interesting see you on the next video x ❤
@fionahammond9396 Thank you, Fiona 😊.
It really was a lovely church. If I can put it this way, it had almost a homely feel about it.
And the stain glassed window was beautiful.
Thanks for watching 👀 🙂. X❤️
Lovely church.
Whenever I come across one that's open I always hope there will be an organist or choir practicing. To sit in a beautiful, relatively empty church and listen to an organist or choir for awhile is just blissful and so calming.
Ay a blessed week me owd 🙂👍
@Adventures_with_Sog Thank you, Paul 😊.
Yes, I agree, it's only happened to us a couple of times.
Take care, you have a good week also my friend.
What a gem! So beautiful both inside and out. It was lovely to see, thanks Kevin, Cynthia and Sue for the tour around 🥰
@lynnb_and_ky_springer_spaniel Thank you, Lynn 😊.
I am so glad we spotted it as we drove to the Green Man.
@@KevinsRambles we’ve driven by in the past and I always wondered what it was like inside. Thank you for showing us around 🥰 it’s beautiful ⛪️
@lynnb_and_ky_springer_spaniel Thank you, Lynn 😊 we were so pleased to have gone there.
Stunning ecclesiastical building!! Loved the ceiling, wall hangings, windows and font. Although I have been to Glynde many times I have never visited the church. Had I known it was so beautiful I would have! Thanks for showing it to us.
@jeanblemings5352 Thank you, Jean 😊.
It's such a shame you had never got to visit the church.
If you go that way again, you should try and go and see the church.
How marvelous. The church was open- and I am always so thrilled when that happens. The interior is stunning and the bonus of the choir and music must have really set your hearts on fire. Wonderful video of another gem to add to this channel. You, a s agroup, always know to entertain me with your ramblings. Have a great week. 🙏🇳🇱🙋♀🥝
@IamaDutch-Kiwi Thank you, Anita 😊.
We didn't really expect it to be open even though we had been told it would be.
It was a fascinating church to visit.
As a group, we are very lucky. Everyone gets on so well.
Thank you Kevin, Not many churches like this in Sussex
