HOMEPAGE

Lodsworth is a small village in West Sussex situated between Midhurst and Petworth, just north of the A272. It lies just to the north of the River Rother, and a small tributary stream, the 'Lod' runs close to the east end of the village. The Parish includes the hamlet of Lickfold and part of Selham.
It has a small Anglican church, St. Peters, The Hollist Arms pub and a village hall. Closeby is the Halfway Bridge Pub on the A272 and north of Lodsworth, the Lickfold Inn.
EH Shepard, the illustrator of Winnie the Pooh and The Wind in the Willows, lived near the church and is buried in the churchyard with Winnie the Pooh and Piglet engraved on his tomb.
In the census of 2001 Lodsworth had a total population of 690 within 282 households.

A Lodsworth WW2 Refugee
