Rackham, a hamlet within the Horsham district of West Sussex, breathes a quiet English air. It lies 7.6 km north-north-east of Arundel (from Arundel: bearing 24°T, OS grid TQ 048 140), and is situated east-north-east of Cross Gate village. The land around Rackham, a gentle sweep of greens and golds under a wide sky, whispers of ancient farming practices. Here, the chalk downs rise like sleeping giants, their slopes often dusted with the pale bloom of chalk-loving flora. The very light seems to possess a certain clarity, a luminous quality that catches the dew on the hedgerows and silvers the quiet lanes. Though small, Rackham holds its own charm, a place where the subtle shifting of seasons dictates the pulse of life.
