Village Hall

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 and a modern village hall.
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. The Noah's Ark became the centre of village life and was the local headquarters of the Swing Riots of 1830
