Day 13: Brighton to Upper Beeding

We go through the town in the morning and out on to the hills this afternoon. Our first church was Francis Dean's spiritual home and then we cut through Mornington Crescent for those that “haven't a clue” and then we pass the home of Patrick's parents. It is a smart lunch stop and then the hills await us with splendid views from the Devil's Dyke and the South Down's Way.

The dovecote is said to be older than the church, listed in the Domesday Book, but presumably doesn't count as a "building". John Chenery Original Tweet
