St Botolph's Church is the Church of England parish church of Hardham, West Sussex. It is in Horsham District and is a Grade I listed building. It contains the earliest nearly complete series of wall paintings in England. [1] Among forty individual subjects is the earliest known representation of St George in England. [2] Dating from the 12th century, they were hidden from view until uncovered in 1866 and now "provide a rare and memorable impression of a medieval painted interior". [3] The simple two-cell stone building, with its original medieval whitewashed exterior, has seen little alteration and also has an ancient bell.

History

The church's exterior

Hardham village is just off the main A29 road, which is "excitingly" separated from the village lane by narrow hedges. [2] [4] The A29 follows the course of Stane Street, an important Roman road, and Hardham was the first posting station after leaving the Roman city of Noviomagus Reginorum (present-day Chichester). [4] [5] Hardham was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Heriedham, but a church was not described. [6] Hardham Priory was founded nearby in 1248. [7]

The church is late Saxon or early Norman. [2] [8] Despite its omission from the Domesday survey, the present building is often considered to be 11th-century; [2] [4] [5] [9] [10] [11] all sources agree that it was complete by 1125 at the latest. [6] The design, described as "primitive" and simple, [2] [6] appears to belong solely to the very early Norman style rather than "wavering between Saxon and Norman" like some contemporary churches; but the dedication to St Botolph is generally associated with Saxon churches. [11] Some stones and tiles used by the Romans for their nearby buildings were incorporated into the fabric of the building, especially in the chancel. [6] [9] [11]

An anchorite — apparently a woman called Myliana — was housed in a stone cell attached to the church from about 1250. A squint was added at the same time to give her a view into the chancel towards the altar and to allow her to receive Communion. Another known occupant of the cell was Prior Robert, who died there in 1285. [12] The squint was later blocked, but in about 1900 it was uncovered. [4] [13] Some lancet windows were added in the nave in the late 13th century, and in the 14th century the chancel received two new window openings. [2]

Many churches in small villages around the South Downs were changed very little after they were built, and St Botolph's Church is an example of this. Minimal population growth over the centuries meant that enlargement was not needed; and the parishes tended to be poor, with little to spend on rebuilding or new architectural designs. [14] Therefore, the church retained its simple appearance until the 19th century, when a porch and bell-turret were added. [2] At the same time, the frescoes were revealed again: first in 1862, when a section of whitewash was removed and one painting was found (although the work damaged it), and later in 1866, when the rest were uncovered. They are faded but clearly discernible. [4] [10] Philip Mainwaring Johnston undertook some restoration of the frescoes around 1900 and wrote a study of them in the Sussex Archaeological Collections in 1901. [15]

Architecture

The south wall has an ancient blocked doorway.

The church consists of nave and chancel only. Such two-cell structures are common in the South Downs area of Sussex. [14] The nave measures 31+1⁄2 by 19 feet (9.6 m × 5.8 m), and the chancel is much shorter and slightly narrower at 17 by 15+1⁄2 feet (5.2 m × 4.7 m). The walls, 2+3⁄4 feet (0.84 m) thick, are of coarse sandstone rubble masonry and flint with much re-use of Roman stonework and tiles. In particular, one of the blocks in the southeast quoin is in fact a set of about 16 tiles with their original Roman mortar. The other quoins are rough-faced stone blocks with dimensions of about 20×15×7 inches (51×38×18 cm). [6] A shingle-covered belfry stands on the east gable of the nave, and a porch protrudes from the north side. [16] The exterior walls are covered in white plaster—a common feature of churches in the medieval era. [12]

The nave and chancel are separated by a chancel arch whose "austere" [17] and "broad simplicity" is indicative of early Norman design. [11] The surface has "discreet", subtly ring-moulded imposts which hardly interrupt the smooth lines. [2] [17] Certain other features suggest Saxon influence, including the square east end of the chancel and the substantial, blocky quoins. [11] The south wall also has a bricked-up doorway, which may have been a Saxon-era entrance. [12] Overall, though, the building is low, broad and sturdy—a "vigorous, down-to-earth and practical work" which was characteristic of Norman builders. [11] The king-post roof is likely to be original. [2]

High in the nave walls are two small windows with modest splays. [18] There are also original Early English-style lancet windows, which "suit the church very well", [12] and other windows which were added later. The porch and bell-turret were added in the Victorian period. [2] A squint was cut into the south side of the chancel in the Middle Ages. It was the site of a now vanished anchorite's cell, which would have projected from the wall. [8] [12]

Internal fixtures include a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic octagonal font, benches whose simple straight-headed ends date from the same era, and altar rails dating from 1720. [7] [10] One of the two bells, possibly dating from the early 12th century, may be one of the oldest in Sussex but not the oldest, St Nicholas Church Worth is the oldest; the other was cast in 1636 and bears the inscription Gloria Deo in Excelsis T.P., 1636, B.E.. [19] [12] [20]

In the early 12th century, St Pancras' Priory at Lewes, one of the richest monasteries in England, apparently supervised the decoration of the church interior with an extensive set of frescoes. [2] [4] Murals from the same school—known as the Lewes Group — can also be seen at Coombes Church near Shoreham-by-Sea, St John the Baptist's Church, Clayton and St Michael and All Angels Church at Plumpton, [21] [22] and were once visible at the church in Westmeston as well. [23] Unusually, the frescoes cover the whole church interior. [6] They are celebrated for their age, extent and quality: Ian Nairn calls them "the fame of Hardham", [2] and descriptions such as "fine", [6] [10] "[Hardham's] particular glory" [4] and "one of the most important sets in the country" [20] have been applied. The frescoes at Hardham were not on display to worshippers for very long: they were covered with whitewash in the 13th century. [4] [16]

Date and style

In addition to the link with the supposed "Lewes Group" of artists, the wall paintings can be dated on historical and stylistic grounds to the early 12th century. They represent the "Anglo-Norman" style of this period, as seen in Norman manuscripts and the Bayeux Tapestry. [24] Dating of the paintings is further indicated by Scene 20 (see below).

Technique and conservation

The wall paintings were created in three stages. First, a thick base layer of plaster was applied to the walls; then a thinner layer of plaster was applied over this in patches, according to the layout of the scenes and borders; then each patch was then painted while the plaster was still wet. (This is the true fresco technique). [20] The "bacon and egg" palette of colours was obtained from cheap locally available materials: red and yellow ochre, lime white, carbon black, and green from copper carbonate. [25]

Since their discovery in 1866 the wall paintings have been variously restored and conserved in 1900–01, 1936, 1950, 1961–63 and 1986. They have suffered from moisture and salts. Much work has been done to improve the drainage and the exterior rendering of the church. [26]

Description

There are four main themes to the wall paintings: Adam and Eve, the Life of Christ, Judgement and Apocalypse (including Hell scenes), and the Labours of the Months. [27] The paintings are in two tiers along each wall. [4] There were originally explanatory inscriptions in the borders above the scenes, but only a fragment of these survives on the east wall of the nave. [27] The description below follows the numbering scheme in the booklet by the Courtauld Institute cited below, which is available for visitors to the church.

Scene 1: Agnus Dei or Lamb of God

Above the chancel arch the Lamb of God is shown, surrounded by an aureole, with an angel either side. [1]

Scenes 2 to 14: Infancy of Christ

Running along the upper part of the east, south and north nave walls are depictions of episodes from the infancy of Christ. These comprise the nativity, annunciation to the shepherds, an unidentified subject, the journey of the Magi, Herod ordering the massacre of the innocents, the adoration of the Magi, the dream of Joseph, the dream of the Magi, the flight into Egypt, the massacre of the innocents itself and Christ as a child in the Temple. [7] [1]

The scenes of the Annunciation and Salutation or Visitation (Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth) have above them the only remaining explanatory inscription. This reads in Latin: "Virgo Saluatatur. Sterilis fecunda probatur". In English this is: "The Virgin is saluted. The barren is proved fruitful". [28]

Scene 15: Baptism of Christ

On the east nave wall is a poorly preserved depiction of the Baptism of Christ. [7] [10]

Scenes 16 to 19: Dives and Lazarus

These scenes recount the story of the rich man and the poor man, known as Dives and Lazarus, and their contrasting fates before and after death, told in Luke 16:19–31. Scenes include a fragment of the feast of Dives, the soul of Lazarus taken to heaven, the soul of Lazarus on Abraham's bosom and the death of Dives. [5]

Scenes 20 to 24: St George

Scene 20 provides confirmation of the dating of the paintings to the early 12th century. It shows "St George in battle against the infidel", and was therefore almost certainly composed after the First Crusade of 1095 to 1099. [24] The other scenes are St George held by torturers, the torture of St George, St George on the wheel and the burial of St George. [19] These represent the earliest known depictions of the saint in a British church. [7]

Scene 25: Labours of the Months

Scene 26: Hell scenes

A group of four Hell scenes (the Torments of the Damned) cover the entire west wall of the nave. [2] [10] [19]

Scenes 27 to 30: Adam and Eve

In the chancel the scenes of Adam and Eve cover the west wall above the chancel arch. They include an unusual trompe-l'œil representation of the Temptation, made to look like a textile wall hanging. Other scenes show the pair hiding their nakedness, sitting back to back, and lamenting after the fall. Eve is depicted being tempted by the forbidden fruit by a wyvern-like serpent, and milking a cow. [10] [19] [7] This last scene is a unique depiction of Eve. [29] The figures are "violent and elongated [...] as distorted as a Russian ikon, and Ian Nairn noted the "diagrammatic sketching in of belly and buttocks[, which] is brilliant". [7]

Scenes 31 to 36: Passion and Resurrection

Christ's Passion and Resurrection are depicted on the chancel walls. Scenes include the Last Supper, Christ's betrayal by Judas, the Flagellation of Christ, his entombment, the three Marys at the tomb, and the washing of the disciples' feet. [5] [7]

Scenes 37 to 39: Apostles, Elders of the Apocalypse, Christ in Majesty

Representations of the Elders and Apostles cover the upper parts of the north and south walls of the chancel. Christ in Majesty originally would have appeared on the east wall, but the figure has been destroyed by the later insertion of a window. Only the flanking seraphs remain. [30]

The church today

St Botolph's Church was listed at Grade I on 15 March 1955. [16] Such buildings are defined as being of "exceptional interest", and in some cases of greater than national importance. [31] As of February 2001, it was one of 38 Grade I listed buildings, and 1,726 listed buildings of all grades, in the district of Horsham. [32]

The parish covers the hamlet of Hardham and the surrounding rural area. The River Arun, the southern edge of Pulborough and field boundaries mark its outer limits. The A29 road runs through from southwest to northeast. [33] The parish is one of four in the joint benefice of Bury with Houghton, Coldwaltham and Hardham. [34] [35]

Services are held each Sunday, generally using the Book of Common Prayer. [36]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">All Saints Church, Patcham</span> Church

All Saints Church is the Anglican parish church of Patcham, an ancient Sussex village which is now part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. A place of worship has existed on the hilltop site for about 1,000 years, but the present building has Norman internal features and a 13th-century exterior. Several rounds of restoration in the Victorian era included some structural additions. A wide range of monuments and wall paintings survive inside, including one commemorating Richard Shelley—owner of nearby Patcham Place and one of the most important noblemen in the early history of Brighton. The church, which is Grade II* listed, continues to serve as the Anglican place of worship for residents of Patcham, which 20th-century residential development has transformed from a vast rural parish into a large outer suburb of Brighton.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">All Saints Church, Buncton</span> Church in West Sussex , United Kingdom

All Saints Church is an Anglican church in the hamlet of Buncton in the district of Horsham, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. Built in the 11th or 12th century as a small chapel of ease to a nearby parish church, and hardly changed or restored since, the stone chapel stands behind a "delightful ... wooded ravine" beneath the South Downs and has been called "a real piece of hidden Sussex". The chancel arch, between the nave and chancel which made up the simple two-room building, had a bizarre 12th-century carving of a person of indeterminate sex exposing their genitalia—until 2004, when an unknown vandal destroyed it with a chisel. The church is still used for Christian worship, and English Heritage has listed it at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance. The church is also known as Buncton Chapel.

St John the Baptist's Church is the Church of England parish church of the village of Clayton in Mid Sussex District, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. The small and simple Anglo-Saxon building is distinguished by its "remarkable" and extensive set of wall paintings, dating from the early 12th century and rediscovered more than 700 years later. Much of the structural work of the church is 11th-century and has had little alteration. The church, which stands in the middle of a large churchyard and serves the small village of Clayton at the foot of the South Downs, is part of a joint parish with the neighbouring village of Keymer—an arrangement which has existed informally for centuries and which was legally recognised in the 20th century. English Heritage has listed the church at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance.

North Stoke Church, rededicated in 2007 to St Mary the Virgin after its medieval dedication was unexpectedly rediscovered, is a former Church of England parish church in the riverside hamlet of North Stoke in the Horsham District of West Sussex. The partly 11th-century cruciform building, set in an almost deserted village in a loop of the River Arun, is mostly unrestored and stands on an ancient earthwork which has pre-Christian origins. The building has architectural features and internal fittings spanning hundreds of years, including some very old stained glass and wall paintings, although there are few memorials compared with other Sussex churches of a similar age. The church, "movingly eloquent of centuries of remote Sussex agricultural life", is no longer used for worship: it was declared redundant in 1992, after which it was entrusted to the Churches Conservation Trust. English Heritage lists the church at Grade I for its architectural and historical importance.

Greatham Church is the Anglican parish church of the hamlet of Greatham in the district of Horsham, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. The tiny single-room building has been described variously as "delightful" and "one of the most appealing churches in Sussex". The unrestored 12th-century stone church serves a rural area near the River Arun and sits apart from the hamlet next to the ancient manor house. The church is a Grade I Listed building.

An earlier dedication to St Peter de Vetere Ponte is now lost, like the bridge over the Adur from which it took this ancient name. The church serves the mostly depopulated hamlet of Botolphs in the Horsham district of West Sussex. The church has fragments of medieval wall paintings. Architectural historian Ian Nairn comments that the Jacobean pulpit is "notable in a county which is poor in 17th century fittings".

These include an exceptionally long hagioscope or squint from the south aisle into the chancel, a porch which may be Sussex's oldest, and a well preserved and extensive scheme of wall paintings. In the Sussex volume of The Buildings of England, Ian Nairn says that the appearance of the church gives "a very happy, unexpected effect, like a French village church".
