Description: | View of St Nicholas's, the parish church of Brighton, on a hill outside the old town. Daniel Defoe visited the area in the early 18th century and wrote: "Bright Helmston, commonly call'd Bredhemston, a poor fishing town, old built, and on the very edge of the sea." The parish church was built in the 14th century of flint and has a low embattled tower. It was drastically restored in 1853. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Buckler, John | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
