Download coordinates as: In Wealden, the largest of six local government districts in the English county of East Sussex, there are 50 former churches, chapels and places of worship which are now used for other purposes or are disused.
Protestant Nonconformism, always strong in Sussex, flourished in the area now covered by the district: many Baptist, Methodist and Congregational chapels were built, and although most survive, not all remain in religious use.
Historic England or its predecessor English Heritage have awarded listed status to more than 60 current and former church buildings in Wealden.

The rest of the population is spread across dozens of villages and hamlets in the largely rural district.
