If it seems a piece of Brighton has been transplanted into Lewes it may well have something to do with the fact that the architect for this crescent constructed between 1835-45 was Amon Henry Wilds who helped build much of early 19th century Brighton. Between the church and the crescent are the remains of the former gatehouse to the Priory of St Pancras.
