St Luke's in Milland, Sussex is known as the church in the woods. It sits in a clearing softly dappled with sunlight and cloaked in tall trees of many greens. As you approach, wild chamomile is crushed underfoot releasing heady fragrance.

The first reference to St Luke's, also known as Tuxlith Chapel, is in a will dated 1532, when Isabel Colpece left “ii shepe to the Church of Tyklyth”.
