St. Mary & St. Blaise, Boxgrove Priory
Boxgrove Priory is well sign posted off the main road. The website is at http://www.boxgrovepriory.co.uk/ and starts with the statement that the church is open every day – very commendable.
This is a most interesting church to visit with much to hold a visitors attention. Inside, the floor at the west end features a lovely labyrinth – there is an illustrated leaflet which explains this and gives prayer idea.
There are some children’s books, postcards and choir CD’s for sale. Also some ‘Visitors Notes’ and laminated ‘bats’ to carry around. There is a children’s guide too (all too rare). 23 people had signed the visitor’s book in March.
There is a chantry chapel which is used for prayer. Here is a picture of it-
Some lights were left on in the church. This is a most enjoyable church to visit.
