| Halse Church. Norman Period. From Domesday Book. “Roger de Montgomery holds of the King, Halse.” Halse is now a Norman Manor, the property of the Count de Montgomery, Earl of the County of Montgomery, of Shrewsbury and of Arundel. He dies after building Shrewsbury Minster, and the Manor passes to one of his descendants who lives at Powerstock in Dorset. This man builds a little Norman Church at Halse, consisting only of a Nave and squat N.E. Tower, in the year A.D. 1152. He then presents Manor and Church to the Knights Hospitallers, whose Priory is at Heathfield, and thus the two parishes are joined. F.J. Montgomery EA Jones Fecit. 1932 |
