Alciston Church - Rodney Castleden - Bog

An historical guide to Alciston church and the surrounding area. The manor of Alciston is unusual in having only two owners since the Norman Conquest, Battle Abbey and the Gage family, both of whom were conscientious record-keepers. Alciston's history is therefore known in some detail. The guide explores the church's fascinating architectural history, illuminated by a rare archaeological excavation at the eastern end. 105 pages, 47 black and white illustrations.
