CHURCHES of SUSSEX
Old Shoreham Church Arch
The great pride of Old Shoreham is in the four rich
arches of its tower.
The west arch is crowned with a cat's head, one of
the others has the heads of a king and queen, another has a line of limpets
to suggest steadfastness, and all are deeply moulded.
The best view is from the west end, with the east window glowing with colour;
the glass was shown at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and has figures of the
Madonna and three saints, one St. Nicholas saving the three children from
the tub.
