In the 1840s two churches stood on this site, side by side. The smaller being the old Saxon church deemed in need of replacement by the then Rector, Reverend Thomas Mozley and his wife Harriet, the sister of Cardinal John Henry Newman. 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 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.[4]
