St Wilfrid's Church, Hailsham

(

)

The former Lynn's Brewery in Hailsham, East Sussex

... that before St Wilfrid's Church opened, Catholics in Hailsham, East Sussex had to worship in a hay-loft in a brewery's stables (pictured)? Source: Whatmore (1977) p153: "Eventually part of a loft over the stables at the back of the brewery in Battle Road (now the Apaseal Factory) was rented for a monthly Mass." p152 actually specifies that it is a hay-loft.

Comment: My first nom for a while … the English Heritage/Diocesan report also refers to a "rented space in the former Lynn’s Brewery at Hailsham".
Another comment (special occasion): This could potentially be held for 24 April, the traditional Feast Day of Saint Wilfrid.

The article looks great - well done. It is new enough - it was created on 5 March and nominated on the same day. It is long enough - 14,690 characters (2550 words) "readable prose size". It seems to be within policy – it is neutral and makes good use of footnotes. Copyright vio detector did not find any concerns. The source is not available online, so I cannot check it myself and will assume good faith. The hook is 120 characters (including the leading dots), properly formatted, and interesting.
