This cut bench mark is visible but worn due to the soft sandstone.
The bench mark is on the South West aspect.
The Church is mainly 14th century.
Hellingly Church is built on the only remaining, undamaged ciric in Sussex. A ciric is a circular Celtic burial ground, raised to keep the dead dry. The Hellingly ciric, although once round, is now oval as the church acquired more land in the 12th century.
