About the Friends

Formed in 2010 The Friends of Waldron Churches has been established to support the restoration, preservation and maintenance of these two historic church buildings and also All Saints' churchyard for the community for future generations.

The villages of Waldron and Cross in Hand in East Sussex England are home to these two wonderful buildings. All Saints’, now a Grade I listed building, has been standing since the days of Richard the Lionheart, and St Bartholomew’s has been serving the parish since Queen Victoria’s reign. Please help us to preserve this heritage for future generations for the community, visitors, and regular worshippers.

We are a fairly unique parish, blessed by the presence of two wonderful buildings, symbols of stability in the midst the community. However with this great privilege, comes the challenge and the responsibility of maintaining them for the future, so that those who come after us can enjoy their continued use.
