St George's Church, Trotton

[9] Local historian Roger Chatterton-Newman disagrees, saying there would be no need for a church on the site any earlier.

The work cost £700 (£95,000 as of 2025),[11] and a time capsule containing details of the builders, church officials and contemporary world events was buried at the end of the job.

[9][15] The present ecclesiastical parish of Trotton covers a large north–south area of countryside, includes the village of Trotton and the hamlets of Chithurst and Ingrams Green, and is served by St Mary's Church at Chithurst as well as St George's.

[4] The church has a plain, simple Decorated-style exterior, apart from the tower which is Early English style.

In the centre is Jesus Christ, beneath him is Moses and on his right is the "Carnal Man" surrounded by the Seven Deadly Sins.

[2] A 9-foot (2.7 m) table-tomb in the middle of the chancel contains the remains of Thomas de Camoys, 1st Baron Camoys (died 1421, although the inscription states 1419) and his wife Elizabeth Mortimer, a daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March.

Baron Camoys fought at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, and his wife was the inspiration for the character of Gentle Kate in Henry IV by Shakespeare.

[12] This is an unusually large brass, the couple being depicted only slightly smaller than life-size and holding hands.

[20] The monument was described by Ian Nairn and Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the biggest, most ornate and best preserved brasses in England".

[9][20] The table-tomb of Sir Roger Lewknor (died c. 1478) survives in the north-east corner of the chancel.
