About

Peters new book, The History of the Fabric and Furnishings of St Thomas Becket Church, Cliffe, published in July, is probably the most detailed study of a Lewes church published to date, and ranges over a wide variety of topics with copious colour illustrations. In his talk he will describe how he researched St Thomass transformations from medieval to Puritan to Victorian styles of worship, and cover such highlights as lost Georgian features, gargoyles, paintings, the belfry and its late medieval bellframe, weathervanes, apotropaic marks and graveyards. Copies of his book will be available to purchase at the meeting. The price of 10 includes a 5 donation towards the upkeep of the church.
