The English Martyrs Church, located at the Goring By Sea end of Worthing is no ordinary church. This place of worship is home to a stunning reproduction of the legendary painter Michelangelo’s most famous work of art, the painting of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome.

The two third scale replica attracts its own steady stream of visitors to the church to witness this amazing site, making it a significant work of art in its own right.
