About Storrington - West Sussex
Information about Storrington - West Sussex:----Storrington is a village in West Sussex in the Horsham District,and one of two parishes of Storrington and Sullington,in the foot of the South Downs.The High Street is the main street and the A283 runs directly through the middle and connects Storrington to Steyning in the east and Pulborough to the west.
Storrington is mentioned in the Domesday Book as 'Estorestone'---meaning a place well known for storks.A charter to hold a regular market was granted by Henry IV in 400,together with three fairs
during the year,on Mayday,Wednesday of Whit week and the Feast of Martin on November 11th.
Tanning and blacksmithing were also important industries and only faded away in the 20th century.
Rabbit breeding was another significant industry and an association with this still exists with a number of local place names called the warren--such as Warren Hill,Sullington Warren and Warren Croft.The working/small industry background has been left behind architecturally.Now the Church,the Dominican convent known as The Abbey and a small door in Browns lane are historically significant.
