Stedham is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Stedham with Iping, in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England, on the A272 road 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Midhurst. In 1961 the parish had a population of 649.[1] On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished and merged with Iping to form "Stedham with Iping".[2]

Governance

An electoral ward in the same name exists. At the 2011 Census the ward had a population of 2,114.[3]

Parish history

Church

The parish church of St James is at the north end of the village just above the River Rother. The original church was built c. 1040, however not much of this is left. The upper parts of the church are dated c. 1673. The churchyard contains a yew tree which is thought to be over 2,500 years old.[4][5]

Domesday Book

The parish (then called Stedeham) was listed in the Domesday Book (1086), in the ancient hundred of Easebourne, as a large settlement having 49 households: 23 villagers, 16 smallholders and 10 slaves. Resources included ploughing land, meadows, woodland, three mills and the church.[6]

19th century

In 1861, the parish extended to 2,249 acres (910 ha) and the population was 530.[7]

Stedham's watermill at the north end of the village was used for manufacturing blotting paper.[8]

Education

Stedham Primary School[9] is the main primary school serving the village.[10] In 2014 Durand Academy in Stockwell, South London opened a boarding school for its senior pupils at the site of the former St Cuthman's School in Stedham,[11][12] The school admitted pupils from South London,[13] however the school is now closed.
