Neither Pevsner nor Mee has an entry for Sewards End and I have to admit that, despite living more or less alongside it for six years, I never noticed its oddness.
To start is its semi hexagonal apse, then there's the Norman lancet windows and to finish off it has a four legged bellcote the like of which I've never seen and to end with the extension is a mismatch from hell.
Hats off, however, to a church that appears to be still in regular use.
The other two, Wendens Loft's ruin and St Helen's chapel eluded me - next time I'll go with postcodes.
