St. John the Baptist, Okewood

https://friendsofokewoodchurch.org/
 “St. John the Baptist, Okewood was built in the 13th Century of local stone, now part rendered with external buttresses under a Horsham stone roof, the Church’s walls and roof have mellowed and weathered over the Centuries blending with its wooded surroundings to form a scene of singular beauty, which in spring and summer is further enriched by the primrose, anemonies, violets and orchids which carpet the ground.
Today the Church is far from the public highway, but this is a reversal of its former state, for the footpaths now converging on it were once the bridle paths which for centuries constituted the main highways long before the coming of metalled roads which diverted the traffic elsewhere.”
