Stedham
The Stedham & Iping Guide
WEST SUSSEX
A virtual guide for visitor and residents.

The two villages of Stedham and Iping are combined into a single parish approximately 2 miles west of Midhurst in West Sussex to the north of the A272.
There are two churches in the parish, St James in Stedham and St Mary in Iping.
Stedham watermill [now disused] was used for the production of blotting paper, there was also a paper mill at Iping.
The last shop closed in August 1991, but Stedham still retains its primary school and a popular pub with a Thai restaurant which is the focus of a Thai Festival each year. Stedham also has a village hall and a flourishing garden centre off School lane.
 
The HG Wells story - The Invisible Man - begins with the bandaged invisible man coming to Iping looking for accomodation.

Iping and Stedham Commons
Minstead Lane, just off A272
The commons are a local nature reserve and provide a habitat to a wide range of flora and fauna. They are areas of lowland heath, now thought to be a rarer habitat than tropical rainforest, and many of the animals and plants on the commons are dependant upon the continued existence of this rare habitat. The reserve is within the AONB of the South Downs and is part of the Iping Common Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Stedham School gets top marks
July 2006
Stedham Primary School has received top marks for quality in raising standards in the basic skills its pupils learn. The government-funded Basic Skills Agency award was presented by Mr. Robert Back, West Sussex director of children's services. He visited the school to present the award, which was achieved only after the school had fulfilled 10 requirements. These included...a whole-school strategy, including an action plan, to improve performance in basic skills, assessment of pupils performance, a regular review of the progress made by each pupil who was under-attaining in basic skills, and a commitment to improving the skills of staff in the school to teach and extend basic skills.

In 1757 the Rev, John Denham had spent the afternoon with the Rector of Stedham, as he was returning home through the fields to Iping he was attacked, stabbed in the neck and had his skull fractured.
The following day a man named Aps [Apps] from Easebourne was charged with his murder. He was later tried at Horsham and hanged.
