Walberton, Binsted and Fontwell are the three thriving and diverse villages in the district of Arun that make up the area covered by Walberton Parish Council. From the rural serenity of Binsted to the rich archaeological history of Fontwell and the typical Sussex historical architecture of Walberton’s Conservation areas our Parish is a welcoming and interesting place for both visitors and residents. Some parts of the Parish are mentioned in British History on line as dating back to 1596.
Archaeological Surveys have been undertaken in the area in recent years and the findings can be seen here.
