The Octagon Parish is made up of eight villages with churches and two villages without churches, all thriving communities.
Blessed with wonderful walks and fine views down to the south coast, its small ancient downland churches are noted for their spiritual peace and tranquility.
There are two stately homes in the area: Stansted House and Uppark
Update on St Mary's Stoughton
The church is now open to visitors, but please do not go into the south transept, where the bell tower is situated
