All Saints Church, Laughton

All Saints Church sits quietly in Laughton village, a few miles south of Hailsham, and it's one of those places that rewards a small detour if you're interested in older buildings. The church itself is medieval - proper Sussex flint and stone work - with some genuinely interesting features inside if you can get the door open. You're looking at authentic period details rather than later Victorian restoration, which appeals if you care about that sort of thing.

The churchyard is peaceful, which families with younger kids might appreciate for a brief wander, though there's not enough here to occupy them for long. History buffs and church enthusiasts will find it worth a stop - the architectural details are genuine and it's the kind of place that hasn't been overly fussed about or turned into a museum piece. It's free to visit, naturally, assuming you can access it during daylight hours.

If you're based at one of the nearby campsites - Golden Cross Holiday Park is closest at just over two miles away - this works as a short leg-stretch activity between other plans rather than a full destination in itself. Combine it with walks across the Sussex Weald or a proper explore of Hailsham town itself. Allow twenty minutes to half an hour, depending on whether you're the type to read every memorial stone or just grab the visual impression and move on.
