The Octagon Parish

The Octagon Parish is made up of eight villages nestled in the hills of the South Downs National Park and home to a thriving community. Blessed with wonderful walks and fine views down to the south coast, its 8 small ancient downland churches are noted for their spiritual peace and tranquillity, some dating back to Saxon times.
