Wineham
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 12 Sep 2010
A small hamlet lying on the eastern boundary of the parish of Shermanbury and for many centuries the most populous part of it. Nearly all of the settlement lies on the western side of Wineham Lane as that lies within the parish boundary whereas the eastern side belongs to the parish of Twineham. As well as parochial boundaries the lane has also been the boundary between the Rapes of Bramber (west) and Lewes (east) as well being the dividing line between West and East Sussex up to 1974. Somewhere beyond the 20th centuries cottages to the left lies the site of an old medieval hospital founded in the 13th century and disbanded at the dissolution. The hospital also included a chapel and a graveyard though nothing remains today and there no evidence to indicate where the exact site was. In more recent times it was the site of an old iron mission room that was pulled down in the late 1940s. The houses in view were built in the 1950s.
