St Andrew's Church.

St Andrew's Church is the parish church of Alfriston, East Sussex. It was built in 1360, and is also known as the 'Cathedral of the South Downs'.

The church is built on a small, flint-walled mound adjacent to the River Cuckmere, and is surrounded by the flowered graveyard. It is built in the form of a cross.

Every year the church hosts a model Christmas Nativity on the altar, which is wonderfully decorated and realistic.

Adjacent to it is not just the River Cuckmere, but also the Alfriston Clergy House, owned by the National Trust (NT).
