Funtington West Sussex Map

About Funtington

Funtington rests in the South Downs' gentle embrace, a place where the chalk downs slope towards the sea. It lies 5.8 km east-north-east of Emsworth (from Emsworth: bearing 66°T, OS grid SU 801 084), and is situated north-north-west of West Ashling village. The soft light often catches the ancient flint walls of its cottages, giving them a warm, honeyed glow, as if the very stones remember the sun of centuries past. A quiet stream, barely a whisper in summer, winds its way through the parish, a silver thread in the green weave of the landscape. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and distant farmland, a grounding perfume that speaks of continuity. Though no grand abbey ruins mark its past, the enduring presence of St. Mary's Church, with its sturdy tower, stands as a testament to the enduring faith of the people of Funtington. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, whisper tales of agricultural labour, of hands that have tilled this soil for generations.
