St Mary the Virgin's Church, North Stoke
North Stoke Church, rededicated in 2007 to St Mary the Virgin after its medieval dedication was unexpectedly rediscovered, is a former Church of England parish church in the riverside hamlet of North Stoke in the Horsham District of West Sussex.

The church, "movingly eloquent of centuries of remote Sussex agricultural life", is no longer used for worship: it was decl
