Wall painting over the chancel arch
Wall painting over the chancel arch

The Anglo Saxon church in Clayton has had various additions and alterations over the years and was originally in the possession of Lewes Priory.

Inside are these amazing wall paintings covering 3 walls. The age of them is the subject of debate, ranging from as early as 1080 - to the C12th. During the Reformation of the C16th they were covered in limewash and only rediscovered by C.E Kempe during renovations in 1893.

The subject is the Last Judgement believed to be the most complete of its type. Christ takes centre stage above the chancel arch. The apostles are grouped on the side walls in procession.
