Parish church established at Fishbourne

undefined

The parish church of St Peter and St Mary was established in Fishbourne during the medieval period, serving the small agricultural and fishing community. The building has been altered and extended over the centuries, but retains features from its earliest phase. The church stood at the heart of medieval village life, providing not only religious services but also the social and administrative framework within which the community operated. The Norman font that survives in the building may date from this period.
