St George's Church

The doors were first opened for consecration and divine worship on 10th July 1868. East Worthing was then an area consisting mainly of lush cattle pasture, orchards and smallholdings with property just being erected in Newland Road and Farncombe Road. The parish increased in size over the years but its pastoral areas were preserved until the 1914-18 war, after which the developers and builders really got going! Architecturally, St George???s is fascinating. It is one of the few churches to be built on a north-south axis instead of the more traditional east-west position. The large open area of the nave crowned by the arched trusses supporting such a large roof area is a feature of the church. With its closeness to the sea, (one of the main means of employment used to be fishing), the roof resembles the shape of an up-turned boat.

Worthing Mosque

In 1994 the premises on Ivy Arch Road were purchased, planning permission obtained and a new Worthing Islamic Cultural Centre was born and was named ???Masjid Assalam???. An Imam was appointed as our spiritual leader to lead all the prayers and to offer Islamic lessons to children as well as adults. Originally only the upstairs portion of the Centre was used for day to day activities of the Society. Slowly but surely, due to growing population and demand the downstairs portion was refurbished in 2005 and now forms the main prayer space.
