they know someone who can! A number of churches are represented in Uckfield and warmly welcome every one. Catholic Church of Our Lady and St. Philip New Town. The church, which replaced an earlier church, opened
in 1885 in another part of the town, was built and furnished in
the 1950s by Canon Plumer in partnership with the community of artists
at Ditchling in Sussex. The Church contains significant paintings
by Edgar Holloway, Dorothy Swaine, Dom Subercasseaux and Audrey
Bear as well as a sculpture by Tadeusz Zilienski and stained glass
by Aleksander Klecki. Members of Ditchling Community of Artists,
which included Eric Gill, also made specially commissioned needlework
for the church which is accredited as some of the finest of its’
kind produced in the early post World War 2 artistic revival in
England; the needlework can be seen by appointment and on special
occasions. There is a large pipe organ by John Compton and the tower
contains one of the largest bells in the County (weighing approx.
2 tons). The very wide nave and western organ gallery make the church
an ideal venue for concerts and recitals. The Church is usually
open daily from 9am to 5pm and visitors are welcome. Grange Evangelical Church Hempstead Road (near junction with Linden Chase). An open, welcoming
and comfortable Bible-based church, catering for a variety of ages.
Services every Sunday and mid-week. Monthly Christian Mens Fellowship,
Ladies Fellowship and service at Ridgewood Rise Home.  Holy Cross ChurchHoly Cross Church was built as the daughter church of St Margaret, Buxted and holds records of births, deaths and marriages, dating back to 1600. The church was restructured during the 19th Century and recent re-ordering has enhanced many of the historical features. In 2009 Holy Cross will celebrate its 170th anniversary. Services are held each day during the week and four on Sunday (Revd Brian Wilcox 01825 762251).

Town Mayor Introduction
very
popular with both the local community and out of town visitors with
a regular attendance of between 25 and 30 stalls offering a very
wide range of fresh and local produce, plants and flowers. There
are also several stalls with woodcraft, crafts and artwork, so there
is something at the market for everyone. The market was considered
by the BBC Good Food Guide to be the most successful Farmers Market
in Sussex. Great emphasis is made on the “producer to table” mileage,
which currently stands at 7.5 miles.
