St George’s, West Grinstead, is a building “brimming with interesting furnishings”, says John E. Vigar, author of Churches of Sussex (Amberley, £15.99 (£14.40); 978-1-3981-1861-4). As in the church at Shermanbury, the benches still bear the names of the houses to which the seats were allocated in accordance with the amount of pew rent that the occupiers had paid. Vigar furnishes notes and 100 colour photos for 51 churches
