This cut Bench Mark is on the West aspect of this Church
Glynde lies to the north of the A27 on the back road to Ringmer . Its name is derived from the old Saxon word glind meaning an enclosure. The road through the village used to be on the main coaching route from Lewes to Eastbourne and Newhaven. It has the feel of Northern England with its rows of terraced cottages, and seems out of place in the South Downs.
The current unusual church was built in 1763-5 in the Italian style by Richard Trevor the Bishop of Durham who was the owner of Glynde place.
