Church of St. Mary de Haura, Shoreham - fragment of original west end

The 'de Haura' bit describes the location, not the particular Mary. It has similar roots to le Havre, the Haven. A 12th century grade I listed building, it formerly extended a considerable way westwards, that part was ruined in the 17th century, apparently from neglect, and demolished in the early 18th. This fragment of the west end is preserved. It was a very big cruciform church in its prime.
