ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH
1855 / 1900 and the HMS Brazen Memorial
By Laurie Stonehouse and Graham Amy
The following pictures show one of Newhaven's oldest buildings, St Michael's church from the 12th century. The first image is a very old engraving from 1855; the memorial for HMS Brazen which foundered off Newhaven in 1800 is clearly visible in the grounds of the church. The next three photographs are from the turn of the last century. I have included a recent picture which shows that very little has changed over the years to this structure.
