The parishioners of Rogate, Terwick, Trotton and Chithurst marked a quarter century of service from their local rector with a church service on Saturday.
Around 200 people attended the event in St Bartholomew's church. Former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams gave an address at the service.
The Reverend Edward Doyle was installed as the parish priest in 2000. He hails from South West Wales and has become a well-known and highly respected figure in the Rogate area.
Stephen Martin attended the event for Shine Radio.
