BC c.5000 - Neolithic (new stone age) Period begins; first evidence of farming appears; stone axes, antler combs, pottery in common use. c.4000 - Construction of the "Sweet Track" (named for its discoverer, Ray Sweet) begun; many similar raised, wooden walkways were constructed at this time providing a way to traverse the low, boggy, swampy areas in the Somerset Levels, near Glastonbury; earliest-known camps or communities appear (ie. Hembury, Devon). c.3500-3000 - First appearance of long barrows and chambered tombs; at Hambledon Hill (Dorset), the primitive burial rite known as "corpse exposure" was practiced, wherein bodies were left in the open air to decompose or be consumed by animals and birds. c.3000-2500 - Castlerigg Stone Circle (Cumbria), one of Britain's earliest and most beautiful, begun; Pentre Ifan (Dyfed), a classic example of a chambered tomb, constructed; Bryn Celli Ddu (Anglesey), known as the "mound in the dark grove," begun, one of the finest examples of a "passage grave." c.2500 - Bronze Age begins; multi-chambered tombs in use (ie.

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. -
Midhurst Sense of Place
Midhurst Sense of Place Produced as part of the Midhurst Vision by the Sense of Place Working Group September 2009 Cover image courtesy of Michael Chevis www.michaelchevis.com Contents 5 Foreword 6 Introduction 9 Context 12 Sense of Place Aims 13 Sense of Place Process 15 Activity 17 Physical Setting 20 Meaning 23 Sense of Place Definition 26 Place Making 31 Place Reading 36 Place Marketing 38 Potential Actions and Projects 39 Next Steps 40 Summary 42 Acknowledgements 43 Appendix 44 Key Design Principles 50 Terms of Reference 5 Foreword Like may towns throughout the UK, Midhurst has a range of unique qualities. Yet as a result of social and economic change it faces competition from neighbouring destinations like Chichester, Petersfield, Haselmere and Guildford. Chichester District Council recognised this problem and through a series of projects (aimed at supporting the local economy), engaged with the community to help identify key areas of development and regeneration. Whilst residents may have strong emotional links to their town or village, it is becoming increasingly important to understand and reveal the innate qualities and character of a place to attract visitors and compete with other towns in their region. However, it may be difficult to express what defines a ‘place’, but it is important to do so, to ensure that any support given by way of physical improvement or economic development, is appropriate and does not lead to the loss of individuality and regional identity. Understanding that Midhurst’s future prosperity is dependent on finding a way to manage change whilst maintaining a genuine and authentic sense of place, it became clear that a process was required to capture and articulate these unique aspects to help develop plans for the future. -

THE PARISHES of St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: the Reverend Canon Moira Wickens
THE PARISHES OF St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: The Reverend Canon Moira Wickens We Will Remember Them On the eleventh day of this eleventh month there will be special services in both our churches, to mark the 100th anniversary of the ending of the first world war. We will be joining our prayers and thoughts with countless others across the world, and you are invited to join us. At 8.00am there will be a short service at St. Mary's Church Apuldram, and then at 10.30am at Fishbourne, with the act of Remembrance taking place at the eleventh hour. If you pop into either of the churches you will see the 'silent soldiers', almost invisible figures representing those from our parishes who gave their lives for our freedom. These figures may unnerve you, for they are there, but not there, and yet they remind us all not only of those who served our country during the great wars, but also those who have been in conflicts since. We will remember those who serve in the armed forces to this day, and all those who have survived. We will also remember the great acts of service that were carried out by so many women who not only supported the men, but who also kept our country going during those terrible years. During both our services we will listen to special readings, 'The Soldier', and 'Flanders Fields', wreathes will be laid, and the names of the men from our communities who are on the memorial plaques inside the churches, will be read out. -
A History of Chichester
A History of Chichester . Written on the occasion of our 250th Anniversary 1727 -1977 CONTENTS Preface. .. 5 The Establishment of Chichester. .. 7 Original Gran t . .. 8 Early Beginnings. .. 10 The Settlement of Chichester. .. 22 The Churches. .. 58 The Schools. .. 67 Old Home Day Celebrations. .. 80 Organizations. .. 87 Town Services. 102 Town Cemeteries. 115 Wars and Veterans. .. 118 3 PREFACE Our committee was formed to put into print some account of our town's history to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the granting of the original charter of our town. The committee has met over the past year and one-half and a large part of the data was obtained from the abstracts of the town records which were kept by Augustus Leavitt, Harry S. Kelley's history notes written in 1927 for the 200th anniversary and from the only sizable printed history of Chichester written by D. T. Brown in Hurd's History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties containing thirty seven pages. In researching we found that a whole generation is missing. It is regrettable that a history wasn't done before now when much that is now lost was within the mem- ory of some living who had the knowledge of our early history. Our thanks to the townspeople who have contributed either information, pic- tures, maps and written reports. It is our hope that the contents will be interesting and helpful to this and future generations. The Chichester History Committee Rev. H. Franklin Parker June E. Hatch Ruth E. Hammen 5 THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHICHESTER Chichester was one of seven towns granted in New Hampshire in 1727 while Lieutenant Governor John Wentworth administered the affairs of the province, then a part of Massachusetts. -

Boundary Commission England Recommendations for Review of Wards of Chichester District Council
BOUNDARY COMMISSION ENGLAND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REVIEW OF WARDS OF CHICHESTER DISTRICT COUNCIL Response from FISHBOURNE PARISH COUNCIL on the Boundary Commission’s three main considerations. 1. Electoral Equality achieved by Draft recommendations: Boundary Commission Recommendation: Bosham, Fishbourne, Appledram and Donnington to form a 3 member ward entitled Bosham & Donnington Ward. Electorate Electors per Variance Electorate Electors per Variance (2015) Councillor from (2021) Councillor from (2015) average (2021) average 7,924 2,641 3% 8,355 2,785 1% COMMENT: The proposal meets the consideration of improving electoral equality. 2. Reflection of Community Identity. COMMENT: There is serious concern about the unintended damage that would be caused by the choice of name for the new ward. Though “Bosham and Donnington” has the advantage of marking the geographical extremes of the new ward, it omits two of the village names and this could have damaging (though unintended) outcomes. Whatever rule is applied to naming of new wards has to have room for some flexibility. This is where local knowledge has such an important part to play. In this particular case, combining the names of four separate villages under the name of two of them conflicts both with the Fishbourne Neighbourhood Plan and with the CDC's own local plan both of which stress the need for the preservation of the individual villages and of the neighbouring AONB. This is vital not only because of the quality of life in the separate villages but also because we are fighting to prevent major developers from building on the strategic gaps between villages and destroying for ever the charm and attraction of the coastal villages and their popularity as a tourist area. -

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.
