Bexhill on Wikipedia.


All Saints on All Saints Lane, Sidley, as seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 7381 0923. Link. Grade II listed - dates it to 1909, with major additions in 1927-9. Older O.S. maps show a Mission Church on the same site, which the church website history page dates to 1885, an iron church. Prior to this, an 1865 National School doubled as a place of worship. It shows on a map of 1878 and may be the same building as part of the school which is there today - 2024 Streetview. TQ 7383 0923.

Beulah Baptist Church (2009 Streetview) on Clifford Road and the A269. O.S. maps indicate a building date of the mid to late 1950's. TQ 7439 0768. Link.

Bexhill Christian Spiritualist Church on Victoria Road, as seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 7390 0764. Link.

Bexhill Masjid and Islamic Centre on Clifford Road, as seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 7430 0757. Link.

Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses was seen by Streetview in 2016. It stands on Terminus Road at TQ 7384 0749.

Little Common Methodist Church is on Church Hill Avenue and Shepherd's Close. 2024 Streetview. TQ 7152 0781. Link. The history page dates the core of the church to 1926, and there have been several enlargements since then. It also mentions its predecessor, probably the Wesleyan chapel shown on a map of 1909 on Cooden Sea Road at TQ 7140 0779. It hasn't survived - its site (2024 Streetview).

Living Word Church (Pentecostal) stands on a site between Eastwood Road and Hamilton Terrace, and was seen by Streetview in 2011. TQ 7337 0785. Link.

A map of 1909 shows a Mission Hall on Hamilton Road (now Chandler Road) at TQ 7332 0797. The building on the site (2024 Streetview) would seem to be a replacement rather than a re-purposed building.

The same 1909 map also shows a Mission Church on Little Common Road. It shows as still active on a map of 1955 but not on one of 1960. The building on its site was seen by Streetview in 2024 - does anything of the church survive? TQ 7359 0802.

Older O.S. maps show a Primitive Methodist Chapel on Haddock's Hill (now Westwood Road) in Sidley. Pre-dating a map of 1878, it had gone out of use by the middle of the 20th century. The housing built on its site was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 7438 0897.

A Quaker Meeting Hall stands on Albert Road, and was seen by Streetview in 2024. TQ 7424 0724. Link.

St. Martha (R.C.) on Birkdale and Cooden Sea Road, as seen by Streetview in 2011 (later views are more restricted by the hedges). TQ 7148 0768. Link - dates it to 1940.

St. Mary Magdalene (R.C.) on Sea Road and Magdalen Road. TQ 7459 0759. From an old postcard in Steve Bulman's Collection. The card was posted in 1957, but is evidently much older. Link. Grade II listed - wherein it's dated to 1907.
