St Leonard's Seaford

That's quite a church, and you've captured it well.

Is flint construction common in Seaford? I've noticed a few other examples in this set.

Thanks, John. On the chalk hills of the South Downs which run through most of Sussex, there is no solid stone, so many of the older buildings are built with lumps of flint that occur within the chalk. Some are used in their original state with a light buff outer coat, but sometimes they were
cracked open and the dark interior exposed to create a pattern, as can be seen around the clock face.They are set in a lime mortar. On larger buildings like churches, the quoins at the corners would have been shipped in by sea and along rivers, or laboriously carted across land. The little church at Friston shows how the builders felt that, when very limited stone was available, flint structures had to be built with very thick walls supported by very chunky buttresses.
