Lullington Church, Church of the Good Shepherd, Sussex UK

The Church of the Good Shepherd, Lullington stands on the side of the South Downs above the Cuckmere Valley, almost hidden amongst a clump of trees. Its white weather-boarded belfry peeps above the foliage, and there are magnificent views. It is the smallest church in Sussex, and one of the smallest churches in the country, being 16 feet square, and seating only about 20. There is no electricity and evening services are conducted by candlelight. The building is the remains of the chancel of a larger church, which is believed to have been razed by fire in Cromwellian times. The church dates from the 13th century, and is of Early English style, with the list of vicars extending back to 1356
