Shoreham-by-Sea - St Mary de Haura
19 Nov 2024 |
|
Old Shoreham located on the east bank of the River Adur, dates back to pre-Roman times. The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman conquerors towards the end of the 11th century.
William the Conqueror had granted Rape (subdivisions) of Sussex, to the de Braose family. The first documentary evidence of St Mary de Haura Church (St Mary of the Haven) was a deed dated 1103, referring to Philip de Braose's return from the First Crusade.
The church had reached its greatest physical extent by about 1225, when this work was completed. The present church is approximately only half the size of the original structure – the former nave was already in ruins by the time of the English Civil War.

Old Shoreham located on the east bank of the River Adur, dates back to pre-Roman times. The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman conquerors towards the end of the 11th century.
Already in the Saxon era, a large church was built on the site. This church was significantly altered in about 1140, but parts of the Saxon structure were retained: the west and north walls of the nave are distinguished from the Norman-era work by their thickness. Otherwise, the nave was rebuilt, the old tower was removed and a new central tower replaced it, north and south transepts were added and a chancel and apse were built at the east endl The main entrance moved to the south transept, where an ornate doorway was provided.

This baptismal font looks like a "Tournai font", but it is not made of the typical black "Tournai stone".
