St Andrew's Church, Brighton & Hove

You'll find this Victorian church tucked away in Brighton's residential streets, all red brick and purposeful design. St Andrew's dates from the 19th century and represents exactly the kind of solid, unpretentious religious architecture that Victorian architects threw up across England with genuine confidence. The interior has the usual period features - decent stained glass, decent woodwork, the sort of thing that rewards a 20-minute wander if you're into that sort of building.

It's not a showstopper. No one's flying to Brighton specifically to see it. But if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Eastern Sands, Beach Park, or The Barn - and you fancy a change of pace from the seafront, it's a perfectly reasonable diversion. The location means you get a genuine sense of Victorian Brighton away from the chaos of the Lanes and the pier. History types and architecture buffs will find it worth poking around; families with younger kids will probably get bored fairly quickly.

Allow half an hour if you're genuinely interested, less if you're just ducking in from a walk. It's free to enter as far as these things go, though actual opening hours aren't guaranteed - best ring ahead if you're making a special trip. On a decent day, the walk through the surrounding streets is pleasant enough that it doesn't feel wasted even if you find the door locked.
