The Parish Church of St Mildred

The extensive work, which took seven months to complete, makes the church better suited for modern needs – providing flexible, well-equipped space for the whole community to use and meeting the needs of the 21st Century. Internally, the works involved alterations and reordering to provide a new stone floor in the nave, aisles and north chapel, together with a new glazed entrance door. The floor has also been levelled throughout the church.

Battle-based Parker & Son was selected from eight contractors who bid for the work. The company was chosen due to its proven and extensive experience with church restoration and historic buildings.  Parker & Son worked with Jupiter Underfloor Heating Company, ION Glass, GB Tiling, Grummant Heating and Plumbing and Keith Hunt Scaffolding.

The construction work started in January 2025 and the church was closed for approximately seven months. The first service was held on  Sunday 17th August 2025.
