Rogate village is on the A272 seven miles to the west of Midhurst. The ancient parish of Terwick is included in Rogate and the northern part of the parish is in the ecclesiastical parish of Milland. Until the passing of the Counties, Detached Parts, Act of 1844 part of Rogate was in Hampshire.
In the 2001 census the parish had 623 households with a total population of 1,513.
The parish has two churches, St. Bartholomews and St. Peters in Terwick plus two primary schools in Rogate and the neighbouring village of Rake. The only pub in Rogate village is the White Horse, following the closure of the Wyndham Arms. The Jolly Drover at Hill Brow and the Rising Sun at Rake on the old London to Portsmouth road lies just within the parish and county boundary. This boundary also runs through the middle of the Flying Bull. There are therefore three and a half pubs in the Rogate parish.
In 2008, Rogate School was the subject of a hugely successful and highly publicised campaign to overturn a council recommendation to close the school. In February 2011 the school was judged to be outstanding in an Ofsted report and is an extremely popular village school with excellent facilities.
