The church hall for St. Clements Church

The church was originally built in 1819 and was dedicated to Clement of Rome. It saw additions and extensions between 1860 and 1907. It is located between Church Lane and Huttoft Road. It sits to the south of Sutton on Sea town centre. ^[2]

Present day

The church is still used for regular worship and community events. In 2007, during a national survey about coastal erosion, a stone with a decorative pinnacle was located on the western door porch. It is believed to be from the medieval period. ^[3] The church is a Grade II listed building and was listed in 1966. ^{[3] [4]}
