Lurgashall

Lurgashall is a small village to the north east of Midhurst and west of Northchapel. Although there is evidence of occupation in Roman times and possibly prior, it was not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The school has long closed but it still has a thriving village shop with Post Office, a recently refurbished village hall and even its own winery and a cider producer closeby.
Lurgashall is also home to the church of St Laurence which still retains evidence of its Saxon origins.
The Noah's Ark pub sits alongside the village green. Built in 1557 with a brew house, which continued for over 350 years to brew its own beer, this being also delivered to other Inns in the district. It was also the village bakery.
The pub became the centre of village life and was the local headquarters of the Swing Riots of 1830.
There are nearly 40 miles of public footpaths and bridleways in the parish which was loved by Lord Tennyson, who built a house in 1869, Aldworth, on nearby Black Down. It was occupied by Tennyson until his death, mostly through the summer. Tennyson died in the house on the 6 October 1892.
The cricket, played on the triangular village green, attracts many spectators who like to watch it being played in such a perfect English setting.
