Poynings Village..Holy Trinity Church Sussex by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Poynings lies on the road parallel to the Downs and under the Devil’s Dyke. Despite its proximity to Brighton and Hove, the village is unspoiled, with glorious views of the Downs.The parish lies wholly with the South Downs National Park. There are also some examples of magnificent 15th Century stained glass. It is known as one of the finest village medieval churches in Sussex. The tower is 58 feet high, and accessed by probably the oldest wooden ladder in Sussex!
