Church of St Andrew, The Tye, Alfriston, Wealden - Wealden
C14 church; cruciform in plan with a central tower and spire, known as the Cathedral of the Downs. Knapped flint walls and tiled roof. The spire has recently been repaired. However, the church walls are damp due to hard cementitious mortar trapping moisture. Some of the walls have now been repointed and re-plastered in lime which is helping them to dry out. The south transept requires similar repair work.
