Parish History

The manor belonged formerly to the Bowermans; and belongs now to Seely, Esq. The manor house was built toward the close of last century; and occupies the site of a previous one in which Henry VII. was entertained.
The coast includes Brook Chine and Brook Point; at the latter of which are remains of a very curious mass of petrified trees.
The living is a rectory in the diocese of Winchester. Value, £250. Patron, Mrs. Gaze. The church is a very late uninteresting structure, picturesquely situated; and was gutted by fire in December, 1862.
