Thakeham, West Sussex Weather
About Thakeham, West Sussex
Thakeham exhales the quiet, heavy scent of damp earth and ancient stone under the grey, expansive skies of West Sussex. It lies 5.9 miles north-west of Steyning (from Steyning: bearing 312°T, OS grid TQ 104 174), and is situated south-east of West Chiltington village. The landscape here does not boast, preferring the slow, deliberate work of water and shadow across the low-lying fields. Nearby, the still surfaces of Laybrook Ponds mirror the shifting clouds, providing a mirror for the reeds that shudder in the persistent breeze. Beyond the private gates of Little Thakeham, the Grade II* gardens hold a stillness that seems to defy the mechanical progress of the modern world. The architecture of the older houses reflects a stubborn endurance, fashioned from local materials that have darkened with the passage of many winters. Thakeham remains defined by these modest margins, where the horizon is broken only by the silhouettes of trees against a fading, pale light. Every lane leads back to the same sense of composure, a place where time is measured not by clocks, but by the gradual cooling of the air as the sun descends.
