The Meeting House, one of the most distinctive buildings on campus, is featured in Historic England’s project Missing Pieces which invites people to share their pictures and stories of the unique, significant and memorable places on the National Heritage List for England.  

Angela Barnes, a Sussex alum and stand-up comedian, shared  her reasons for choosing the Meeting House as her favourite listed building, which include casting a vote for the first time in a general election and getting married at the chapel. 

The Meeting House has been a Grade II listed building since 1993 and is the home of our Chaplaincy. It was designed by architect Sir Basil Spence and it is part of a series of graded listed buildings at the University, including the Library, Falmer House, Arts A and B, the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts, and the Pevensey and Chichester buildings.
