Bosham is one of the most historic villages in W. Sussex,
also one of the prettiest...   SEE SOME OF THE PICS HERE...

The name Bosham is derived from the old English 'Bosanhamm' - Bosa’s water meadow as it was known in 750AD, or possibly 'Boscusham' meaning wood hamlet. Formerly in the province of the South Saxons and the Earldom of Wessex, it became Boseham in 1086, 20 years after the Norman conquest. Bede tells us that before St. Wilfrid established Christianity in the Parish a Benedictine monk named Dicul built a monastery here c.680AD.

"Better to have been a fisherman at Bosham, my good Herbert,
Thy birthplace, the sea creek, the petty rill, That falls into it the green field, the grey church
the simple lobster basket and the mesh."
Tennyson.
