[1] Coates Castle, a Grade-II mansion listed by English Heritage lies on land above the village in a position that affords extensive views across the Sussex countryside.

[2] In the fifties it was owned by the former Master of the Hursley and Hambledon Hunt Gerald Joynson who renovated it and eccentrically installed in a room a specially constructed coffin for himself.

It consists of three blocks of land all within a one kilometre radius of Coates Castle which contain the only known British population of Gryllus campestris, a field cricket protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

The church is of early English style and consists of a single nave now covered by a wood floor with a bellcote (rebuilt 1961) and a small square chancel.

A small Sussex marble lead-lined font stands extant at the west end of the nave[7] and constructed within the south wall of the chancel is a sedile ( pl sedilia) or priest's chair.
