Warnham,West Sussex

Warnham is a delightful village in the heart of Sussex, which still has the feel of a High Weald Sussex village about it and seems to have resisted the expansion of nearby Horsham. The village is a short distance from the A24 trunk road but has a busy community atmosphere, with a main street, church, school and delightfully appointed cricket field and village hall. Living within easy reach of Horsham, this village is an ideal location for families.There is a Church of England primary school in the village for children of 4 years to 11 years. Warnham has two fine public houses, The Sussex Oak is a nice old pub with stone floors wooden beams, large fireplace and plenty of exposed brickwork. Parts of the building date from the 1600s. The pub organises several beer festivals during the year and the village fete, barbeques and hog roasts are held during the summer months. The Greets is 13th century with the original flagstone floor and inglenook fireplace. There is a large been garden with barbeque at the rear. The parish church of St Margaret’s is steeped in history and originally dates back to the 12th century, as the surviving font indicates. Percy Shelley was born two miles from Warnham at Field Place and was christened at Warnham Parish Church. He later rode every day for lessons with Reverend Edwards, the church vicar. The exterior of the church, with its medieval tower, remains much as Shelley would have seen it. There are several clubs and organisations within the village including Warham golfing society and Warnham cricket club.

The larger town of Horsham near-by offers an extensive range of shopping and other amenities including leisure/swimming complex and Horsham Arts Centre. There is also a main line station with services to the coast and Gatwick Airport and London Victoria/London Bridge.
