Churches in Rotherfield Parish

St Denys'

Church Road Rotherfield Crowborough
(01892) 852536
http://www.stdenysrotherfield.org.uk/aboutus.htm

Welcome to St Denys' Church.
Founded 792AD. Present Church built from 1060.
This glorious village church is a symbol of the sturdy men of Sussex who built it long ago. The whole pageant of English history for 1200 years is bound up with this church; the forest men, the Norman soldiers, the hunted fugitives, peasants and farmers, the iron workers and the service men and women who prayed in this church in the dark days of two world wars. It now gives our people comfort, joy, fellowship and purpose in their lives.
The church you see is not a relic of a dead past, it is a meeting place of the people of the living present who come to worship God as their ancestors have done for 1200 years.

St Mark

Tunbridge Wells Rd/Wadhurst Rd Mark Cross Tunbridge Wells
http://www.stdenysrotherfield.org.uk/stmarks.htm

Welcome to Mark Cross Parish Church which was built in 1851, not as a church, but as a National School for village children aged between 4 and 11. Being one of the largest buildings in the village it served as a community meeting place in which church services were held on Sundays.
In 1873 a new larger school was built forming the nucleus of the present Church of England Primary School. The old school building was then adapted and extended to provide a small vestry and consecrated as the Parish Church dedicated to St Mark.
Since 1984 the parish has been linked with Rotherfield in a Combined Benefice.
