Terwick, St PeterChithurst has a single bell, hung for swing chime in a west-facing bellcote.
A church is mentioned in the Doomsday Book, and being one of 5 parish churches in 3 miles, it has no doubt had great competition with the neighbouring churches. The west-end 9.A frame was erected in 1885. |
