The village of Dallington is a quiet, pretty place, off the main road and located in an idyllic spot in rural Sussex.
In 1864 the original church of St Giles was dismantled and rebuilt with only the crenulated tower and the spire surviving into the new building. The spire is a rarity in Sussex, as it is tiled in stone, one of only four in Sussex.
This is the latest of the towers in East Sussex that bear the Pelham Buckle, in this case on the battlements. It was built c. 1500.
The inscription on this window reads:
"To the glory of God and in memory of Colonel Charles J. W. Tatham R.A.M.C 1860-1936 and his wife Maria 1860-1944 also of their son-in-law A. Maurice Tatham 1885-1919 and of their little grandson Geoffrey 1913-1916. Underneath is a brass strip which continues the inscription "also of Muriel wife of Maurice and mother of Geoffrey 1890-1971."
This one has the inscription:
"Ad gloriam Dei et in memoriam Caroline Mary Tatham: 1853-1918 R.I.P."
