Thakeham West Sussex Map

About Thakeham

Thakeham, a village breathing the quiet air of West Sussex, lies at the heart of its own subtle landscape. It lies 9.4 km north-west of Steyning (from Steyning: bearing 312°T, OS grid TQ 104 174), and is situated south-east of West Chiltington village. The ancient church of St. Michael, its flint walls weathered by centuries, stands as a silent sentinel over the surrounding fields, where the chalk downs begin their gentle rise. The very light here seems to possess a peculiar softness, particularly in the late afternoon, casting long shadows that lend a timeless quality to the scattered farmsteads and verdant pastures. A sense of enduring peace pervades Thakeham, a place where the land itself seems to recall the passage of generations with a quiet dignity.
