Summary Description

A large Victorian church of flint on the corner of Sackville Road, Byron Street and Coleridge Street. Tall, compact and powerful, with extra vertical emphasis given by a slender fleche, the church has considerable townscape impact, particularly from the north. Built 1882–1883 for Rev’d Canon Thomas Peacey, the first Vicar of Hove, the architect was John Loughborough Pearson. The church is designed in the Early English style, or perhaps better Transitional, but with geometrical tracery in the transept windows.
