St Pancras Church is a Christian church and parish in Kingston near Lewes in East Sussex, England. The church building was built in the 13th century and is protected as a Grade II* listed building.
The church building was built in the 13th century. It is made of stone and flint rubble. It comprises a nave, chancel, western tower, and south porch. The building was damaged by lightning in 1865, and again in 1874. It was designated Grade II* listed on 20 August 1965.
Inside the church, the communion table is Elizabethan and the chest at the west end of the nave is Jacobean. There are three ancient bells in the tower, one of them made by Walter Wimbis. There are also a communion cup and paten dating back to 1568; a chalice, paten, and flagon of silver, to 1872-1874; and a silver alms-dish, to circa 1700.
The parish is part of the United Benefice of Iford, Rodmell and Southease. The registers began in 1654.
