buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove. It remains in active use for worship, and is the only Anglican church in the Benefice of Rottingdean. The parish covers the whole of Rottingdean—reaching to the boundaries of Ovingdean and Saltdean—the coast road as far as Roedean, and surrounding areas of downland. Services are held in the church on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for the parish, and on Wednesdays for pupils at St Margaret's Church of England Primary School. Sermons are available to download as podcasts. Burials and memorials The ashes of Sir Edward Burne-Jones, Pre-Raphaelite artist and designer, are buried in the churchyard. The ashes of his wife Georgiana, one of the MacDonald sisters, and their granddaughter, novelist Angela Thirkell, are also buried there. The ancient churchyard was extended in 1883, 1905 (with land donated by William Nevill, 1st Marquess of Abergavenny) and 1920. The churchyard includes the graves of Scottish novelist William Black, G. H. Elliott the Music Hall singer and the world renowned blues guitarist Gary Moore (died 2011). The gravestones of blackface music hall singers G. H. Elliott and Alice Bamford were removed for amendments to the wording in 2020 because a word used in the text had become unacceptably offensive with the passage of time. Elliott was referred to as the "Chocolate Coloured Coon" and Bamford as "Coon Singer and Dancer". The churchyard contains 14 Commonwealth war graves of nine British service personnel of World War I (including one unidentified merchant seaman) and four of World War II.
