St Margaret's Church, Angmering, Sussex 1853
This is the earliest site that I have photographed for James Forsyth, and the only site I have found that states that the work was part of the partnership between Forsyth and the Belgium sculptor Theodore Phyffers that existed from some time before 1853 and was dissolved in March 1855

The Norfolk Chronicle ( quoting the Sussex Express) reports “ St Margaret’s Church at Angmering was re-opened on Easter day by the Bishop of Chichester…the carving of the arcading is very rich, representing only natural plants, executed by Phyphers and Forsyth “
The church was modernised and enlarged in 1853 under the direction of the architect Samuel S. Teulon, a friend of Sir Gilbert Scott, the funds being donated by a local Squire, William Kinleside Gratwicke whose family memorial, carved by James Forsyth, is also shown below
