A chapel is known to have existed in Heyshott before 1144. The
church of Heyshott was presumably founded as a chapel to that of
St. James at Stedham; it was so styled in 1291 and it continued
attached to Stedham until 1882, when it was constituted an
independent rectory in the gift of the bishop of Chichester. Over
the south door is the Royal Arms as borne 1714–1800. Of the
three bells the oldest may be ascribed to William Founder (c.
1400)

If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would
just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can
keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid
duplication.
