About Billingshurst

Billingshurst, a parish and village in West Sussex, carries the quiet hum of a place that has long known the passage of seasons and travellers. It lies 9.7 km west-south-west of Horsham (from Horsham: bearing 243°T, OS grid TQ 086 259), and is situated east-south-east of Newpound Common village. The land here, gently rolling towards the Arun valley, has been shaped by agriculture for centuries, its fields a patchwork of greens and golds under a sky that often holds a peculiar, pearly light. The parish church, St. Mary’s, with its sturdy Norman tower, stands as a silent witness to the village's enduring presence, its stones worn smooth by countless hands and the ceaseless whisper of the wind. Billingshurst’s economy, once tied to the milling of grain and the transport of goods along the old coaching routes, now finds its pulse in a blend of local businesses and the steady flow of commuters to larger towns, yet a certain stillness persists, as if the very air remembers an older, slower time.
