Ian Nairn writing about Bosham in the Buildings of England: Sussex says: "Deservedly the best known village around Chichester Harbour: a close-packed huddle of cottages at the waterside, as intricate as a Cornish village, but built to a softer Sussex colour scheme - flint, brick, tile and tile-hanging. Bosham has a delightful plan: it is a dead end between two inlets of the sea." The road along the southern edge is flooded at high tide and the houses have steps up to their front (or in some cases back) doors. High Street also clearly floods on occasions, as can be seen here where the tiny doors have presumably been reduced from full sized doors to make a step over into the house.
