About Fencing in Henfield
Henfield in West Sussex was recorded at Domesday as Hamfeldt, and in Saxon times the manor belonged to Earl Warbald before being granted to the bishops of Chichester in 770, who established an ancient palace there either before or soon after taking possession of the land. The village's parish church of St Peter dates from the 13th century, though there may well have been a place of worship on the site since the 8th century, and Henfield built its early economy on tanning, later diversifying into brickmaking thanks to the local clay soil, along with quarrying and farming, while its position as a staging post on routes into fashionable Georgian Brighton kept its coaching inns busy. The village also holds a claim to sporting history, home to one of the world's oldest cricket clubs, founded in 1771, and to the oldest surviving Scout troop in the United Kingdom, established in 1907.
