High above the valleys is the village of Amberley where there has been a church since Norman times (1020-1204). The villagers walked across the high common land to worship.
In the early 1800's it was decided that a new place of worship was needed and Trinity Church was completed in 1836 thanks to the generosity of a David Ricardo Esq. of Gatcombe Park, now lived in by the Queen's Daughter, Princess Anne.
The hill was excavated so that the building could stand, according to good biblical teaching, on the rock. It has one of the most beautiful graveyards that I have seen.
Lovely shot Heather, sorry I haven't been around for a while, have been very busy trying to sell my house, nearly there! Also have no computer access at present time, doing this on my phone!
