Worthing Tabernacle

The Worthing Tabernacle sits on Rowlands Road in Lancing, a Victorian-era chapel that doesn't shout about itself but deserves a look if you're caravan-hopping around Sussex. Built in the 19th century, it's a proper example of Nonconformist architecture - all red brick and period detail - and stands as a reminder that this stretch of the south coast was once dotted with thriving dissenting congregations.

You won't spend hours here, but that's not really the point. Pop in to clock the interior layout, the windows, and the sense of a community space that's been doing the same job for over a century. It's the kind of place that grounds a walking route rather than anchors a whole day.

Historically minded visitors and anyone interested in 19th-century religious life will find it genuine and unpretentious. Families won't find it exciting, but if you're staying at Beach Park, The Barn Caravan Park, or Eastern Sands nearby - all within three miles - it's an easy detour before heading to the seafront. Don't expect it to be staffed or heavily promoted; ring ahead or check locally with Lancing about opening times.

The real appeal is the walk itself. The road's quiet enough, and Lancing has proper character if you wander beyond the chapel. Worth fifteen minutes of your morning if you're curious about local heritage.
