This Cut Bench Mark is on the South West aspect of this Church.
In 1864 the original church of St Giles was dismantled and rebuilt with only the crenulated tower and the spire surviving into the new building. The spire is a rarity in Sussex, as it is tiled in stone, one of only four in Sussex.
This is the latest of the towers in East Sussex that bear the Pelham Buckle, in this case on the battlements. It was built c. 1500.
The village of Dallington is a quiet, pretty place, off the main road and located in an idyllic spot in rural Sussex.
