Church of All Saints, Steyning Road, Buncton, Wiston - Horsham
Water penetration and damp are contributing to this medieval church's declining condition. The worsening condition of the stone slab roof dating to the early C20 phase of restoration is leading to water ingress, deterioration roof the structure and the ceiling below. Built principally of flint, the hard cement-based pointing is contributing to internal damp problems with rotting internal wood fittings and algal growth. Consequently, the medieval wall paintings are vulnerable to deterioration. The growing congregation hopes to develop a repair project.
