Patcham history

---

Patcham was originally a separate village that developed around the partly 12th- and 13th-century All Saints’ Church. The parish of Patcham extended to 32 square miles (83 km) and encompassed large parts of what are now adjacent suburbs. It extended eastwards into modern-day Moulsecoomb, westwards beyond Dyke Road into Hove, and northwards across the sparsely-populated South Downs towards the parishes of Pyecombe and Ditchling.

Modern Patcham

Patcham became part of the “Greater Brighton” area in 1928. Sir Herbert Carden, a prominent Brighton solicitor, was responsible for boundary changes. The land around the village was mostly undeveloped at this time, but many houses were later built.

St Joseph’s Church, Brighton St Joseph’s Church is a Roman Catholic church in the Elm Grove area of Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. It is one of eleven Roman Catholic churches in the city. The church was built in several stages, and outstanding debts meant that its official dedication took place in 1979.

Percy and Wagner Almshouses The Percy and Wagner Almshouses are a group of 12 almshouses in the inner-city Hanover area of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. The first six date from 1795 and are among the few pre-19th-century buildings left in the city. The additional houses of 1859 were provided for unmarried women. The houses were saved from demolition in the 1970s and were rebuilt instead and are still occupied.

St Martin’s Church, Brighton St Martin’s Church is the largest Anglican church in Brighton, England. It dates back to the mid-Victorian era and is noted for its ornate interior. It is located northeast of the city centre and north of the seafront.

Roundhill Crescent Roundhill Crescent is a late-19th-century housing development in Round Hill, an inner suburb of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Partly developed in the 1860s with large terraced houses on a steeply sloping open hillside. England’s first hospital for the treatment of mental illness was founded in the crescent in 1905. The crescent occupies a prominent place on Brighton’s skyline.

St Augustine’s Church, Brighton St Augustine’s Church is a former Anglican church in Brighton, part of the English city of Brighton and Hove. Built in 1896 and extended in 1914, its parish was extended after a nearby church closed, but in 2003 it was declared redundant itself. The building is listed at Grade II in view of its architectural importance.

Vernon Terrace, Brighton Vernon Terrace is a mid 19th-century residential development in the Montpelier suburb of Brighton. Construction of the first section started in 1856, and the 37-house terrace was complete in the early 1860s. Architecturally, the houses divide into five separate compositions, although all are in a similar late Regency/Italianate style.

Preston Barracks Preston Barracks was a military installation in Lewes Road, Preston, Brighton. The buildings and site are being converted into student residences and a business school.

St Peter’s Church, Preston Village, Brighton St Peter’s Church is a former Anglican church in the Preston Village area of Brighton, in the English city of Brighton and Hove. The 13th-century building was restored in the late 19th century and again after a serious fire in 1906. It was the parish church of Preston until 1908, when the newly built St John the Evangelist’s Church gained this status. It has Grade II* listed status reflecting its architectural and historical importance.

Holy Trinity Church, Hove Holy Trinity Church was built in the 1860s to provide extra capacity for Anglican worshippers in the rapidly growing town of Hove. Its use declined in the 20th century and it was closed in 2007 following a Diocesan review. The church has Grade II listed status, reflecting its architectural and historic importance.

Hove Hove is one of the two main parts of the city of Brighton and Hove, along with Brighton. Originally a fishing village, it grew rapidly in the 19th century in response to the development of its eastern neighbour Brighton. In 1997, as part of local government reform, the borough merged with Brighton to form the Borough of Hove.
