Greetings!
Horsham is a market town in West Sussex and offers an attractive place to go shopping, visit the park, eat out and wander around the weekly market in the town centre.
The town is 31 miles (50 km) south south-west of London, 18.5 miles (30 km) north-west of Brighton and 26 miles (42 km) north-east of the county town of Chichester.
The thriving town of Horsham may look modern, but it dates back to at least the 10th century. For many years it shared the county assizes with Lewes and Chichester. The first written record of Horsham comes from a royal charter of King Eadred in AD 947.
In the early medieval period, Horsham provided crossbow bolts and horseshoes for the king's armies.
The parish church of St Mary dates to the 12th century and stands at one end of a long street known as The Causeway, lined with attractive old houses.
One of the most famous residents of Horsham was the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, whose monument can be found in the church. Nearby is Causeway House, a historic 16th-century half-timbered building which serves as the home of Horsham Museum.
Just outside the town is Warnham Nature Reserve, a popular area for bird-watching.
