  • Birdham, Itchenor, Chichester, Church Norton and Selsey
    Holiday with a religious connection. West Sussex Day 7 – Birdham, Itchenor, Chichester, Church Norton and Selsey. Martin encounters the extraordinary ‘Macrocarpa’ tree in Birdham churchyard. BIRDHAM Friday 15th April 2016 was our last full day in West Sussex – it turned out to be very, very wet and not a day for long trips! However there were several locations of interest within 30 mins of Earnley, especially parish churches. The first church we explored was St James’, Birdham. The most striking feature outside the church was the Macrocarpa tree – it had the appearance of an ancient ash with a contorted knotted trunk. ‘Hesperocyparis macrocarpa’, commonly known as Monterey cypress, is a species of cypress native to the Central Coast of California - however the precise species is disputed and it may be an example of Italian Cypress (C. sempervirens). It was a nice surprise to find a variant on the ancient ash trees found in most old churchyards! The Macrocarpa tree is located in a very pretty churchyard at Birdham, featuring a bench with trellis arch. The parish church of St James, Birdham is situated on the Manhood Peninsula in Sussex. The area is a suburban extension of the city of Chichester, popular as a place to live and visit from its nearness to the city, Chichester Harbour and marina. The church was heavily restored in the nineteenth century, the then existing chancel being entirely replaced and the nave windows renewed. The sixteenth-century tower remains. The church has a Grade 1 listing. The gated porch at Birdham. East window, St James’, Birdham.
