Walberton
Walberton is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England centred five miles (8 km) north-west of Littlehampton, and south of the A27 road. The land rises from 10 metres above sea level to 35 metres, a quarter of the height of the nearest foothill, Nore Hill, of the South Downs which is outside of the parish to the north. The civil parish, administering local community buildings, fields and paths includes the smaller village Binsted to the east and larger neighbourhood of Fontwell, less than a kilometre north-west. Walberton has a medieval church by its clustered village centre; Binsted's medieval church still retains its original landscape setting where the village houses are dispersed around the farm fields, rather than clustered by the church. ==Amenities== Binsted has a pub, the ''Black Horse'' and its own Norman church built in 1140 A.D. by the monks of Tortington Priory to the immediate east.〔Remains of Tortington Priory and its fish pond 〕 Roman and medieval pottery and tile kilns have been excavated there.〔 This includes a detailed architectural description of the church.〕 Binsted also has a traditional summer festival the Strawberry Fair where locally grown produce is shown and sold for charity. Part of Binsted is within the South Downs National Park; the whole of Binsted's countryside was originally assessed by the Countryside Agency as meeting the criteria for inclusion; but in 2015, the community, businesses, natural beauty and wildlife of Binsted are threatened by 'Option B' proposals for a new Arundel Bypass. More information on this threat to Walberton and Binsted's amenities can be read (here ). St Mary's Church in Walberton has a Saxon font and west wall. There is a large pub, ''The Holly Tree''. This is recorded from 1845 and has been called by its present name since 1867.〔British History Online: (Retrieved 12 September 2011. )〕 Towards the end of the village there is a small village pond where children often feed the ducks. There are a small number of shops and a post office next to the modern village hall.
