Worth Abbey Church, built between 1965 and 1975, was designed by Francis Pollen and is considered by many to be the best example of his style. In his book on the architect, Alan Powers writes that the church "in its grandeur and simplicity, has a pure architectural quality which proclaims it a masterpiece". The church, which overlooks the South Downs, is used by the Abbey's 25 English Benedictine monks as well as the school, parish and retreat that they run. Made from concrete and brick, it features a remarkable conical sloping roof.
