Cocking Parish Church

Cocking features in the Domesday Book and the earliest parts of its Grade I listed parish church date from the 11th century. A Lady Chapel was added in the early 12th century and other features of interest inside the church include the 11th-century chancel arch, the remnants of a 13th-century wall painting and the 12th-century font. Cocking's church is unusual in that it was not originally dedicated to any saint. However in 2007, the congregation agreed to dedicate the church to St. Catherine of Siena, which is unusual for a church in England there being only two other Church of England churches so named.
