St Wilfrid's Church, Hailsham

 * ... that before St Wilfrid's Church opened, Catholics in Hailsham, East Sussex had to worship in a hay-loft in a brewery's stables (pictured)? Source: Whatmore (1977) p153: "Eventually part of a loft over the stables at the back of the brewery in Battle Road (now the Apaseal Factory) was rented for a monthly Mass." p152 actually specifies that it is a hay-loft.

 * Comment: My first nom for a while … the English Heritage/Diocesan report also refers to a "rented space in the former Lynn’s Brewery at Hailsham".
 * Another comment (special occasion): This could potentially be held for 24 April, the traditional Feast Day of Saint Wilfrid.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg The article looks great - well done. It is new enough - it was created on 5 March and nominated on the same day.  It is long enough - 14,690 characters (2550 words) "readable prose size".  It seems to be within policy – it is neutral and makes good use of footnotes.  Copyright vio detector did not find any concerns.  The source is not available online, so I cannot check it myself and will assume good faith.  The hook is 120 characters (including the leading dots), properly formatted, and interesting.
