A fact from Coombes Church appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the ancient wall paintings in Coombes Church in West Sussex include a man grimacing as he holds up the 30-inch (76 cm)-thick chancel arch?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/September.

Eras[edit]

If "Most of the nave, its entrance door and the chancel arch are original" meaning surviving from the Domesday Book building, they are as likely to be Anglo-Saxon not Norman, unless finished in the last 20 years, when little building was going on. This is a common situation, as architectural historians have been realizing over the past decades that many Romanesque buildings were probably built before the Conquest & the tidy split imagined by the Victorians is a fiction. The situation is best covered by using "11th century" and "Romanesque". Johnbod (talk) 14:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re-reading Coppin and Pé confirms that the oldest bits (as above) are Saxon in origin, while the chancel and the window between the doors are Norman, so I've attempted some clarification. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 21:52, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
