People have lived around Bishopstone for thousands of years, evidenced by Neolithic finds, Bronze Age Bowl barrows, Romans remains, a Saxon cemetery and later Medieval buildings . The name means “lands of the Bishop”, in this case the Bishops of Chichester who owned the area from the 8th -16th century http://www.sussex-opc.org/index.php?k=175&t=Parish
