When the church was erected in 1843, the tower had been given a ‘pepper box’ ornamentation by an individual who “wanted to put something on top of it”. However, by 1915 the old tower had become unsafe because it was not weather-proof and it was suffering from the vibrations of heavy traffic. So the church removed the ‘pepper box’ and rebuilt the upper part into its present pyramid form. http://lewesbaptistchurch.org.uk/?page_id=383
