Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

    THE PARISHES OF St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: The Reverend Canon Moira Wickens Awesome Autumn As summer ends and autumn comes, Sunlight and cool nights of Autumn, Days get shorter, misty and cold. Help leaves to turn orangey red, And in this spectacular season, And combine all things smoothly, Nature's beauty graciously unfold. To add magic in season's lovely bed. Trees get ready to slow down, And all this shedding and replacement, And in autumn take some rest. Of leaves continue throughout the year, And show amazing colours of love, And trees only shed leaves in autumn, That are all at their best. To prepare for another winter dear. Green fades away quickly, This is God's spectacular display, And yellow and orange appear, Of beautiful colours of the fall, To show off their vibrant hues, During which many changes occur, And warm-up their surrounding dear. Including yellow, orange, red and all. This poem, written by Seema Chowdhury, sums up for me the wonder of this autumn season. A few months of the year when the created world seems on one hand to take a rest while giving us all a glimpse of God's immense glory. One of the most uplifting things for me at this time of year is to drive along country lanes, under a canopy of tree branches which are displaying so many colours in their leaves. And I am reminded that God's creative work is forever ongoing. I am also reminded that although it may seem as if plants and trees are having a rest beneath the soil, waiting to burst into life in the Spring, they are in fact being fed and nurtured, getting ready for what is to come.

Modal shift from motor transport (and in particular private cars) to active modes can reduce traffic congestion, improve journey reliability, and reduce carbon emissions linked to climate change. Moreover, walking and cycling have numerous health benefits including: reducing levels of obesity and related conditions such as diabetes and coronary heart disease, improving poor air quality which is estimated to hasten around 40,000 deaths per year in the UK 1, reducing stress, contributing to mental wellbeing, and improving healthy life expectancy. Walking and cycling can also help to boost the local economy and reduce societal costs associated with sedentary living, mitigating air pollution, and adapting to climate change. 1.2 The need for this strategy The purpose of this document is: • To clearly state West Sussex County Council’s aims and objectives

Monitoring and Review 63 2 Foreword Neighbourhood planning was introduced by the Localism Act 2011 and provides communities with the opportunity to shape the future development of their town or parish by putting in place a Neighbourhood Development Plan. In December 2012 Bosham Parish Council ("BPC") applied to Chichester District Council ("CDC") for the designation of the Bosham parish boundary as the Neighbourhood Plan Area. This designation was made on 18th March 2013 and work on the Bosham Parish Neighbourhood Plan began. The Bosham Parish Neighbourhood Plan ("BPNP") has been produced by a Project Team appointed by and reporting to BPC and as a result of the careful consideration of numerous consultation exercises and responses from the community and a wide variety of local stakeholders. Detailed consideration has also been given to numerous evidential sources including local survey information and higher level planning policies and guidance. This work has been undertaken with the assistance of the Bosham Association and community volunteers and with the advice and support of the CDC and the Chichester Harbour Conservancy.

  • The Stone Coffins of Bosham Church
    FROM THE ARCHIVES: THE STONE COFFINS OF BOSHAM CHURCH I have kept to the old spelling of Canute throughout this article, since this was how it was spelt until quite recently, but it is now more usual to spell it ‘Cnut’. Is King Canute’s Daughter buried in Bosham Church? Unfortunately, it is not possible to give a definite answer to this question but I did think that visitors to the church via the website or in person to the church itself, might be interested in the long held tradition that King Canute’s daughter was drowned in the millstream early in the 11 th century, and buried in Bosham church and the subsequent finding of a small stone coffin in front of the chancel arch in 1865. Canute was King of England from 1016-1035 and although we have no written evidence that Canute had a Manor House in Bosham or indeed ever had time to come to Bosham, this tradition has been handed down from generation to generation and the story has gradually evolved over the years from Saxon princess to King Canute’s daughter. There is also the little stone effigy which is on the recessed tomb by the organ in the chancel of the church and which was thought to represent the little princess but carved much later, possibly, in the reign of Edward I (1272-1307), as a suitable memorial to her. The effigy and tomb do not appear to go together. In 1865 when considerable restoration work was being done in the church the Reverend Henry Mitchell, Vicar of Bosham from 1845-1912, decided to take the opportunity to test this long held tradition.
