1 Hillside Cottages, East Marden, Chichester, PO18 9JD

This property is located in East Marden, a village in the Chichester district of West Sussex, noted for its historic church, thatched well, and stable population over the past century.

East Marden is a village and former civil parish, now part of the parish of Marden in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It sits on the spur of the South Downs, some 100 metres above sea level, in an area of unusually high rainfall. First mentioned in the Domesday Book as Meredone, it was given in 1086 to Roger, Earl of Montgomery. The village’s oldest house dates back to 1728, and the church of St Peters, dating from the 12th century, is still used for worship every other Sunday. The most famous landmark is the thatched well on the village green. The population has remained static for over a century, with 80 residents recorded in 1931; the parish was abolished in 1933 to form Marden.
