Mozley laid the foundation stone for the larger building in 1841 and the new church was completed in 1850. Mozley directed the project, the architect was Thomas Henry Wyatt and the builder, John Crook of West Dean. The new church cost over £6000, of which Mozley contributed over £5000. In contrast, the demolition of the old church cost £11.[7] In 1958 the church was designated as Grade II* listed.[8] The parish is now part of the Bourne Valley grouping.[9]

Thomas Mozley was a supporter of the High Church Tractarian movement and in 1841 succeeded Newman as editor of its periodical, the British Critic. Other notable rectors include William Noyes (from 1601), James Fraser (1847-1860; later Bishop of Manchester) and Frank McGowan (to 1951; became Archdeacon of Sarum).
