Selham is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Graffham, in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It lies south of the A272 road 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Midhurst. It is mainly in the parish of Graffham, but partly in that of Lodsworth to the north.[1] In 1931 the parish had a population of 65.[2]
History
Selham was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) in the ancient hundred of Easebourne as having six households: two villagers, two smallholders and two slaves; resources included ploughing land, woodland and meadows, and a value to the lord of the manor of just over £3.[3]
In 1861, Selham was still a separate parish covering 1,042 acres (422 ha) with a population of 123.[4] On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Graffham.[5]
In February 2010, James Packer won approval from Chichester District Council for a 327-acre polo complex to be built at Manor Farm on land owned by Lord Cowdray, not far from Great House Farm, the 38-hectare polo complex at Stedham, owned by his father Kerry Packer during the 1980s.[6] Packer withdrew after the 2012 season, with the facilities being taken over by Sheikha Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum.[7]
Buildings
Selham's pub is The Three Moles, one of the smallest pubs in Sussex.
The church of St James is largely 11th century, having never undergone any major rebuilding,[8] but it was restored in the 19th century.[4] From 1922–27, Frank Buttle was rector of Selham with South Ambersham.[9]
Nearby the remains of Lodsworth Castle, a large 13th Century motte near Selham at Lodsbridge beside the River Rother. Lodsbridge was a wharf on the Rother Navigation waterway.
There was formerly a railway station on the Pulborough to Petersfield, Hampshire line. Selham Railway Station is now a private house.
