The city of Brighton and Hove, on the south coast of England, has more than 100 extant churches and other places of worship, which serve a variety of Christian denominations and other religions. More than 40 former religious buildings, although still in existence, are no longer used for their original purpose.

The history of the area now covered by Brighton and Hove spans nearly 1000 years, although the city has only existed in its present form since 2000.^[1] The small settlement of Bristelmestune, mentioned in the Domesday Book, developed into a locally important fishing village, and was saved from its 18th-century decline by the patronage of the Prince Regent and British high society.^[2] Hove, to the west, had modest origins; rapid growth in the 19th century caused it to merge with Brighton, although it has always tried to maintain its separate identity.^[3] During the 20th century, both boroughs expanded by absorbing surrounding villages such as Patcham, Hangleton, West Blatchington and Ovingdean, each of which had an ancient church at their centre. New housing estates such as Mile Oak, Moulsecoomb and Saltdean were built on land acquired by the boroughs.

Apart from the ancient parish churches of Brighton (St Nicholas') and Hove (St Andrew's), and those of the nearby villages that are now part of the city, few places of worship existed until the 19th century.^[2] During that century, however—and especially in the Victorian era—England experienced a surge in church-building, which left its mark on both Brighton and Hove.^[4] Reverend Henry Wagner (Vicar of Brighton between 1824 and 1870) and his son Reverend Arthur Wagner founded and funded a succession of Anglican churches for the benefit of Brighton's rapidly growing population, while enduring controversy and conflict over their political and religious ideals;^[5][6] many churches were founded in Hove; and Roman Catholic, Baptist, Unitarian, Jewish and other places of worship became established for the first time.^[2] Although overcapacity and increasing maintenance costs have led to some closures and demolitions, new churches continued to be established throughout the 20th century on the new housing estates.

Religious affiliation in Brighton and Hove

As of the 2001 United Kingdom Census, 247,817 people lived in Brighton and Hove. Of these, 59.1% were Christian, 1.47% were Muslim, 1.36% were Jewish, 0.7% were Buddhist, 0.52% were Hindu, 0.1% were Sikh, 0.85% were affiliated with another religion, 27.02% followed no religion and 8.88% did not state their religion. Some of these proportions are significantly different from those of England as a whole. Judaism and Buddhism have a much greater following: 0.52% of people in England are Jewish and 0.28% are Buddhist. Christianity is much less widespread in the city than in the country overall, in which 71.74% people identify themselves as Christian. The proportion of people with no religious affiliation is nearly twice as high as that of England as a whole (14.59%).^[7]

Administration

All Anglican churches in the city are administered by the Diocese of Chichester, and (at the level below this) by the Archdeaconry of Chichester, one of three archdeaconries in the diocese.^[8] The Rural Deanery of Brighton is one of five deaneries under the archdeaconry.^[9] It covers 28 extant churches and 9 that are no longer used for worship.^[10] One of its churches, St Laurence at Falmer, is in the neighbouring district of Lewes.^[11][12] The Rural Deanery of Hove, also part of the Archdeaconry of Chichester,^[9] has 28 churches, of which five are closed; eight are in the Adur district of West Sussex, as the deanery covers Kingston Buci, Southwick and Shoreham-by-Sea as well as Hove and Portslade.^[13]

The 11 Roman Catholic churches in the city are in Brighton and Hove Deanery, one of thirteen deaneries in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.^[14] The deanery has 13 churches, but those in Peacehaven and Southwick are outside the city boundaries, in Lewes District and Adur District respectively.^[15][16] The parish of Southwick's church, St Theresa of Lisieux, has covered the Portslade area of Brighton and Hove^[17] since 1992, when the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Denis in Portslade was declared redundant and demolished after 80 years.^[18][19]

Of the ten Baptist churches in Brighton and Hove, six are part of the Mid Sussex Network of the South Eastern Baptist Association, one of nine divisions of the Baptist Union of Great Britain: the Holland Road and West Hove Community churches in Hove, the Florence Road and Gloucester Place churches in Brighton, the Oasis Christian Fellowship Church in Hangleton and the church in Portslade.^[20] Also in this network is a Baptist community in Woodingdean that does not have its own premises and worships in a school.^[21]

In 1972, the Congregational Church and the Presbyterian Church of England merged to form the United Reformed Church.^[22] All United Reformed churches in the city are part of the Southern Synod,^[23] one of 13 synods within the Church.^[24] The city's six Methodist churches are in the Brighton and Hove Methodist Circuit.^[25]

Buildings with listed status

In England, a building or structure is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.^[26] English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process.^[27] There are three grades of listing status. Grade I, the highest, is defined as being of "exceptional interest"; Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and Grade II, the lowest, is used for "nationally important" buildings of "special interest".^[28]

As of February 2001, there were 24 Grade I-listed buildings, 70 Grade II*-listed buildings and 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings in Brighton and Hove.^[29] Five of the Grade I-listed buildings are churches; all are Anglican. There are 18 Grade II*-listed places of worship: 15 Anglican churches, two Roman Catholic churches and a synagogue. Twenty-six current and former places of worship have Grade II status.

St Michael and All Angels Church		Brighton 50°49′39″N 0°08′59″W / 50.8274°N 0.1498°W / 50.8274; -0.1498 (St Michael's Church, Brighton)	Anglican	A !I	This supplemented the nearby St Stephen's Church following the rapid development of the Montpelier and Clifton Hill areas west of Brighton railway station in the early 19th century. Originally a chapel of ease from St Nicholas Church, it was given its own parish in the early 20th century.[37][38] The large Italianate building is sometimes known as "The Cathedral of the Back Streets".[39]

Its centrepiece is the 12th-century church, built of flint with a tower and "Sussex Cap" spire. It may have been damaged by the same French raiders who desecrated St Margaret's Church. Only one other church in England is dedicated to St Wulfran, a French archbishop.[40]
All Saints Church		Patcham 50°52′00″N 0°09′03″W / 50.8666°N 0.1507°W / 50.8666; -0.1507 (All Saints Church, Patcham)	Anglican	B !II*	Patcham became part of the former Borough of Brighton in 1928; it was previously a separate village.[41] A church was known to exist at the time of the Domesday Book, and the nave and parts of the chancel of the present building date from the 12th century. It was extensively restored in the 19th century.[42][43]
Chapel Royal		Brighton 50°49′21″N 0°08′22″W / 50.8226°N 0.1394°W / 50.8226; -0.1394 (Chapel Royal, Brighton)	Anglican	B !II*	Brighton's second Anglican church was built to encourage the Prince Regent to attend church more often when he was staying in the town. He laid the foundation stone in 1793 and attended the first service in 1795,[44][45] but later took offence at a sermon and stopped worshipping at the chapel.[46] It was parished between 1896 and the mid-20th century.[47]
St Andrew's Church		Hove 50°49′43″N 0°10′30″W / 50.8286°N 0.1750°W / 50.8286; -0.1750 (St Andrew's Church, Church Road, Hove)	Anglican	B !II*	The original parish church of Hove (and later Hove-cum-Preston, a combined parish that existed from 1531[48] to 1878[49]) was of 12th-century origin,[50] but fell into disrepair and was rebuilt by George Basevi in neo-Norman style in the 1830s after the population of Hove started to grow.[51][52]
St Barnabas Church		Hove 50°50′05″N 0°10′39″W / 50.8346°N 0.1774°W / 50.8346; -0.1774 (St Barnabas Church, Hove)	Anglican	B !II*	The Vicar of Hove asked John Loughborough Pearson to build a church near Hove railway station in response to rapid residential development in the late 19th century. St Barnabas opened in 1883. The knapped flint and red-brick Early English style church is topped by a tall, narrow flèche.[31][34]
St Helen's Church		Hangleton 50°51′04″N 0°12′03″W / 50.8511°N 0.2009°W / 50.8511; -0.2009 (St Helen's Church, Hangleton)	Anglican	B !II*	Hangleton became part of the former Borough of Hove in 1928.[53] Originally a Norman church, it remained almost untouched in a high, isolated position on the South Downs above Hove until restoration in the 1870s. Despite other alterations, especially since Hangleton developed as a 1950s housing estate, the church retains much of its medieval character.[54][55]
St Margaret's Church		Rottingdean 50°48′24″N 0°03′27″W / 50.8068°N 0.0575°W / 50.8068; -0.0575 (St Margaret's Church, Rottingdean)	Anglican	B !II*	The ancient parish church of Rottingdean was absorbed into Brighton in 1928.[56] The Normans rebuilt a Saxon church in the 13th century, and much of this structure survives—despite damage caused by a French raid in 1377.[57] The cruciform, flint-built church has a large churchyard.[58] Rudyard Kipling, his uncle Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin all had links with the church.[59]
St Martin's Church		Brighton 50°50′00″N 0°07′42″W / 50.8333°N 0.1284°W / 50.8333; -0.1284 (St Martin's Church, Brighton)	Anglican	B !II*	Arthur Wagner built this church in 1875 using £3,000 set aside by his father for that purpose. A building committee, set up by Henry Wagner before his death, allowed Arthur Wagner and his half-brothers to choose the site themselves.[60]
St Mary the Virgin Church		Kemptown 50°49′13″N 0°07′46″W / 50.8203°N 0.1294°W / 50.8203; -0.1294 (St Mary the Virgin Church, Kemptown)	Anglican	B !II*	This large, red-brick Victorian church, described as having "one of the best church interiors in Sussex",[61] was built between 1877 and 1879.[62] It replaced a Neoclassical building in the style of a Greek temple that collapsed in 1876, 50 years after it was founded on land donated by the Earl of Egremont.[63]
St Nicholas Church		Brighton 50°49′31″N 0°08′42″W / 50.8254°N 0.1449°W / 50.8254; -0.1449 (St Nicholas' Church, Brighton)	Anglican	B !II*	Brighton's only Anglican church until the end of the 18th century[64] was also its parish church until 1873.[65] A church existed in the 11th century in the fishing village of Bristelmstune—probably on this site.[66] The tower and some interior structures are 14th-century, but some Norman-era parts remain.[64][66] The church survived a French raid in 1514.[67] Richard Cromwell Carpenter rebuilt it in 1853 as a memorial to the Duke of Wellington.[64][68]

St Paul's Church		Brighton 50°49′20″N 0°08′40″W / 50.8221°N 0.1444°W / 50.8221; -0.1444 (St Paul's Church, Brighton)	Anglican	B !II*	This is the oldest of six churches built on the instruction of Henry Wagner in which Anglican worship still takes place. Three earlier churches have been demolished or sold.[73] Opened in 1849 just before Wagner's son Arthur was ordained, it was intended as Arthur's own church, at which he could start his ecclesiastical career. He stayed for 52 years until his death in 1902.[74]
St Peter's Church		Brighton 50°49′42″N 0°08′06″W / 50.8283°N 0.1350°W / 50.8283; -0.1350 (St Peter's Church, Brighton)	Anglican	B !II*	Brighton's parish church (since 1873) was designed by Charles Barry in the Gothic Revival style and built between 1824 and 1828 at a prominent location described at the time as "the entrance to the town".[75] The Portland stone and Sussex sandstone building is costly to maintain, and has been proposed for redundancy by the Diocese of Chichester.[76] In May 2009, Holy Trinity Brompton Church in London agreed to take it over.[77]
St Peter's Church		West Blatchington 50°50′50″N 0°11′06″W / 50.8472°N 0.1851°W / 50.8472; -0.1851 (St Peter's Church, West Blatchington)	Anglican	B !II*	West Blatchington, a village on the South Downs east of Hangleton, was absorbed into the erstwhile Borough of Hove in 1928. Its medieval parish church fell into disrepair by the 17th century but was restored in the 1890s and extended in the 1960s by John Leopold Denman following substantial population growth in the area.[78][79]
Bishop Hannington Memorial Church		West Blatchington 50°50′34″N 0°11′14″W / 50.8428°N 0.1871°W / 50.8428; -0.1871 (Bishop Hannington Memorial Church)	Anglican	C !II	This yellow brick church was built between 1938 and 1939 by Edward Maufe, the architect of Guildford Cathedral. The name commemorates James Hannington, first bishop of East Equatorial Africa, who was murdered in Uganda in 1885.[80] Nikolaus Pevsner described the church as "Historicism at its most simplified".[81]
Church of the Annunciation		Hanover 50°49′46″N 0°07′47″W / 50.8294°N 0.1296°W / 50.8294; -0.1296 (Church of the Annunciation, Brighton)	Anglican	C !II	This "Wagner church" was built in 1864 to serve the Hanover district, which at the time was a poor, densely populated area with no church.[52] It became so popular that it had to be extended in 1881 (with difficulty on the narrow site surrounded by houses). Both the original construction costs and the rebuilding were financed entirely by Arthur Wagner.[82]
Church of the Good Shepherd		Brighton 50°50′30″N 0°09′29″W / 50.8417°N 0.1580°W / 50.8417; -0.1580 (Church of the Good Shepherd, Preston, Brighton)	Anglican	C !II	Edward Warren used variegated bricks and a simple Gothic style for this church, which was built between 1921 and 1922 on Dyke Road.[83] It was built as a memorial to a former Vicar of the parish of Preston.[84]

In 1824 he enlisted Charles Busby to build a church; construction cost £11,000 and took two years.[85][86] Its parish, established in 1879, was extended twice in the 1980s after the nearby St Anne's and St Mark's Churches were closed.[87]
St John the Baptist's Church		Hove 50°49′36″N 0°09′53″W / 50.8268°N 0.1648°W / 50.8268; -0.1648 (St John the Baptist's Church, Hove)	Anglican	C !II	This church was built in 1854 on a prominent site on one corner of Palmeira Square in Hove, to serve Brunswick—an exclusive residential area developed from the 1820s.
