    Nice to see that nobody has stolen or vandalised these places.Maybe because nobody knows they are there.The church in Rhuddlan where my mother lived in North Wales had been broken into so many times they locked it up decades ago and put a huge automatic switch on flood light on the roof.

    What a beautiful church - it amazes me that these are still places of worship (but quite heartened by this!)

    My 6x Great grandparents John Merritt & Martha Bunn were married on 17 Oct 1724 at Wiggonholt.

    I am pleased I found your channel Richard. As a Cheshire lad, its places like this church we never hear anything about. Another great documentary, saying 'movie' doesn't do it justice. Loved the fine detail on the house leading up to the church. This is another such short walk where I felt I was there. many thanks for doing this.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironstone Ironstone is a term for sandstones containing a noticeable amount of iron oxides. The Weald area of Sussex used to be a major iron-working area.

    Another gem of a church. Thank you for going to the places most of us never get around too!

      Thanks Nigel - what I love is being able to get to the places the viewers suggest, like Wiggonholt. I had never heard of it before - but it is charming!

    Odd that the vicarage looked three or four times the size of the church!!

    Lovely Church, Been here A Few times. There are so many little churches in the area of Pulborough, Storrington & Fittleworth. There is a Lovely church in Coates just South of Fittleworth (I Think)

    Wiggonholt was one of several churches in the 1700s that were known for clandestine marriages.
