IS a village and parish in the hundred of Tipnoak and rape of Bramber; about 44 miles S. from London, 11 S.S.W. from Brighton, 4 S. from Bramber, and nearly 6 S.S.E. from Steyning; pleasantly situated on the navigable river Adur, which passes to the west of the parish. It is not a place of trade or manufactures, nor does it contain anything of curiosity or interest sufficient to delay the tourist in his progress. Several respectable residences are in the vicinity of the village, and the country around it is replete with rural beauty. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, is a small, neat edifice, in the later style of English architecture; the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of the see of Chichester; the Rev. G. Guy is the present vicar. Population, 1,515.
POST OFFICE, Mary Ann Cornford, Post Mistress. – Letters from all parts arrive (by foot post from Steyning) every morning at half-past ten, and are despatched every afternoon at two
