The cut bench mark is on theSouth West corner of this well kept Church.
The Church in Ripe, St John the Baptist, was built in the decorated and perpendicular styles, the earlier parts being the nave and the south porch. The exact date of the construction of the church, like that of its neighbour St Bartholemew, Chalvington is not know. Local tradition is that Chalvington was first constructed on land belonging to Michaelham Priory. Rype church, being on land owned by St Pancreas (yes pancreas)! Priory Lewes, was later built on a grander scale to outdo the Michaelham Priory monks.
