All I can find is the history of the FAIR of St Lawrence as the patron saint of the village. Perhaps it was used as the alternative name for Hurstpierpoint? http://thesussexnewspaper.com/features/whats-on/3279-st-lawrence-fair-hurstpierpoint-2012.html Jean Wood http://www.cheziris.eu/Duterrau.htm http://www.saintes-fleur-de-sel.fr/index.htm > From: rosechal@iinet.net.au > To: SUSSEX-PLUS@rootsweb.com > Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:18:42 +0930 > Subject: [SXP] Hurstpierpoint - St Lawrence > > Hi Folks, > > > > Linda Price very nicely sent me some info from the National Burial Index > regarding my previous query on the MILES family. > > > > The burials are listed at Hurstpierpoint St Lawrence.

Hi Rosemary, I think that this may answer your query http://www.hurstpierpointholytrinity.org.uk/history. Holy Trinity was only built in 1845 (a new church!) and the previous church was St Lawrence. hth, Anne > > Subject: [SXP] Hurstpierpoint - St Lawrence > > > > Hi Folks, > > Linda Price very nicely sent me some info from the National Burial Index > > regarding my previous query on the MILES family. > > The burials are listed at Hurstpierpoint St Lawrence.
