St. Mary’s Church, which dates back over 1000 years, is famous all over the world for its Saxon tower. Not only is the church of great architectural significance, it’s also the home of an active Christian community.

There’s been a church at Sompting since before the Norman conquest of the 11th century. The oldest part of the building is the Saxon Tower, which has stonework that has been dated as pre-1000AD. The spire is the earliest example of a ‘Rhenish helm’ in England.
