caption_attribution_description: English: Church of the Transfiguration: a mediaeval Anglican church (mostly 12th- and 13th-century) in the village of Pyecombe, West Sussex, England. Listed at Grade I by English Heritage.
context_page_description: The Church of the Transfiguration is the Church of England parish church of the village of Pyecombe, in the Mid Sussex District of West Sussex, England. The mostly 12th- and 13th-century building, in an isolated setting facing the South Downs, has been designated a Grade I Listed building.
context_section_description: The Church of the Transfiguration is part of the Benefice of Poynings with Edburton, Newtimber and Pyecombe.  This covers five downland villages, each with one church: the others are St Andrew's Church at Edburton, Holy Trinity Church at Poynings and St John the Evangelist's Church in Newtimber.  The former church of the Good Shepherd at Fulking is no longer in use but is nominally part of the Benefice.  The parish itself covers Pyecombe village and the surrounding farms and downland, as far south as the Brighton and Hove boundary and north to Clayton.
  The church was Grade I listed on 28 October 1957. The local District Council designated the area around the church a conservation area in January 1989.
  Two services take place each month, and Pyecombe Parish Council holds its meetings in the church.
