FINE PRE-NORMAN CHURCH

the Conquest

Many churches In Britain owe their
origin to the piety Of the Norman In.
vader, but these which antedate this
great period of church building are not
SO numerous. One such pre-Norman
edifice is the fine old parish church OF
Worth, near Three Bridges. A little
book, written by Rev. Arthur Bridge,
the rector Of Worth. tells the his.
tory of what is aptly described as
one of the most remarkable relics OF
bygone age. 1t seems probable that
the church passed with the Manor Of
Worth under the will Of Alfred the
Great to his third son, Ethelward-
Archaeologists will be lavish of thanks
to Mr. Bridge for the interesting and
useful little record Of his unique
church. He tells US that Worth ex'
hibits the earliest example of the pure
ly English cructform building, and its
semi-circular eastern end Ia of very an.
cient date But the whole church. as
might be gathered. possess many fea'
