St Andrew's Church, Church Road, Hove

St Andrew's Church is an Anglican church in Church Road, Hove, in the English city of Brighton and Hove. It is usually referred to as St Andrew (Old Church) to distinguish it from another St Andrew's Church in Waterloo Street, elsewhere in Hove. It served as Hove's parish church for several centuries until 1892, although the building was in a state of near-ruin until Hove began to grow from an isolated village to a popular residential area in the early 19th century.

    English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)

    “It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “But she rode it out,
    That old rose-house,
    She hove into the teeth of it,”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
