About Fencing in Billingshurst
Billingshurst in West Sussex dates back to around 800 AD, taking its name from a wooded hill settled by an extended Saxon family group known as Billa's people, part of the wider Billing tribe. The settlement likely grew from a permanent Saxon presence, established after coastal farmers began bringing pigs up into the Weald each winter to forage for acorns and beechmast in the dense woodland, with some settlers eventually choosing to stay year round. Although the Roman road of Stane Street runs directly through the parish, there is no clear evidence of continuous habitation from that era, and the village's oldest visible buildings date instead from the medieval period, including a parish church with 12th century Norman work on its south side and numerous surviving timber framed buildings along the High Street, among them a chemist's shop that has traded continuously since the 17th century.
