The Church of the Good Shepherd, Lullington
Lullington Church, also known as the Church of the Good Shepherd, on the South Downs at Lullington in East Sussex is claimed to be the smallest church in England.[1] It was built from the remains of the chancel of an earlier church that was destroyed by fire, generally believed to have occurred at the time of Oliver Cromwell. It measures a mere 16 feet (5 metres) square and seats 20 people.
The church was the inspiration for British Sea Power's song "The Smallest Church in Sussex", which featured as a b-side to "Remember Me" in 2003. The organ featured on that song comes from the harmonium inside the actual church.
