The ParishThe parish of Nuthurst is located in northern Sussex on the boundary between the two modern counties of West & East Sussex. Nuthurst is about 4 miles southeast of the market town of Horsham lying on a lane which runs south from the A281 road which connects Horsham to the seaside town of Brighton. There is not much of a settlement to Nuthurst, a pun, the church and a few cottages along the road and elsewhere a scatter of farms. Nuthurst is in the heart of Wealden Sussex and the landscape is typically undulating and with many copses and woodlands. Arable farming now predominates although in the past farming would have been more mixed. The parish is sited at about 40 metres above sea level and the drainage is heading southwest towards the River Adur which meets the sea at Shoreham. Nuthurst is not a particularly large (in acreage) parish but supported in the region of 750 parishioners, which reflects the industry that was carried out in the Weald in former times. Nuthurst, however, does not receive an individual mention in Domesday Book. |
