A TRADITIONAL ANGLICAN CHURCH
USING THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER

Open every day 9am to 4pm for meditation, prayer, visits and Sunday service at 9.45am

WELCOME

St Thomas à Becket is an ancient and peaceful church, situated at the end of Cliffe High Street in the East Sussex county town of Lewes.
Our traditional Sunday services at 9.45am follow the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the Authorised Version of the Bible.

The church is open all day every day from 10am to 4pm to visit and for private prayer.

The friendly congregation also offer a range of social activities in the adjacent Cliffe Hall (suspended from 19 Dec due to Covid) – see News & Events.
We look forward to welcoming you to this oasis of calm and tranquillity, whether for a visit, meditation, or private prayer. Full details in our monthly Parish News.
