St Mary the Virgin, Eastbourne
Here are some of the team recording graffiti in the belfry of St Mary's. Not for the fainthearted but very rewarding with plenty of initials and drawings dating mainly from the 19th Century
We have been pondering our fishy issues at St Mary's.There are over 65 carvings of fish found in the Chancel on piers and high up on the Chancel arches
Some of the last remaining examples of historic paint around St Mary’s. We have been looking for evidence in the graffiti in particular.
