Parish History
The Imperial Gazetteer of England & Wales 1870
LANCING, a village and a parish in Worthing district, Sussex. The village stands near the river Adur, and near the South Coast railway, 2 miles WNW of Shoreham; and has a station on the railway, at Lower Lancing hamlet, and a post-office, of the name of North Lancing, under Shoreham.
The parish extends to the river Adur, and to the coast; and comprises 2,524 acres of land, and 738 of water. Real property, £5,878. Pop. in 1851, 828; in 1861, 950. Houses, 172. The increase of pop. arose from the extension of market-gardening, and from the erection of a redoubt, St. Nicholas’ college, and a few labourers’ cottages.
The college is a school for the sons of gentlemen; was founded, in 1848, within Shoreham parish; was removed in 1858 to an eminence, with a fine view, in Lancing parish; and is a large and handsome edifice, designed to have accommodation for upwards of 350 boys. Lancing House and great part of the land belong to Col. G. Carr-Lloyd. The name Lancing may possibly have been derived from Wlencing, a son of the Saxon king Ella.
The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Chichester. Value, £151. Patron, the Bishop of London. The church is early English; consists of nave, aisles, and chancel, with a tower; and was recently repaired.
There are a national school, and a coast-guard station.
