Warnham

Formerly Hollands Manor,[6] Warnham Court built in ashlar was built for Henry Tredcroft in 1828. Warnham Court School until August 1996 [7] occupied the building, set in the listed Warnham Park immediately southeast of the village, with extensions and outbuildings by architect Arthur William Blomfield and his son Sir Arthur Blomfield. [n 1]

The park grounds were laid out from the early 1830s, developed in the mid- and late 19th century by the landscape designer Henry[n 2], and later with a pinetum by Harry J. Veitch. Extended with a wild garden in the early 20th century, the gardens are surrounded by a 19th-century park.

The early 19th-century poet and Romanticist Percy Bysshe Shelley, husband of Mary Shelley was born at Grade I listed Field Place, a broad-fronted country house set on an estate/working farm, and baptised there in 1792. He later rode every day for lessons with Reverend Edwards, Warnham's vicar[8] and where he was visited by his cousin Thomas Medwin when they were children.[9]

Kingsfold is the northern settlement on the A24 and Marches Road 2.8 miles (4.5 km) north of Horsham.[4] The village lies close to the Surrey border just south of site of the medieval Shiremark Mill, also known as Capel Mill and Kingsfold Mill which is 20 metres north of the border in Capel. The village has one pub, The Owl.

Goosegreen consists of a small group of farms and cottages between Warnham and Broadbridge Heath and includes four Grade II listed buildings. [n 3] To the south of the hamlet is a cricket ground, home to the Broadbridge Heath Cricket Club, and tennis courts. Most of the houses are owned or were formerly owned by the Warnham Park Estate, whose offices are at Bailing Hill Farm.

Rowhook is a hamlet on the Broadbridge Heath to Ewhurst, Surrey road 3 miles (4.8 km) northwest of Horsham.[4] Rowhook lies on a junction of two Roman roads, one being Stane Street (Chichester), the other an unnamed road which runs to the top of "Hurtwood" on the Greensand Ridge in Ewhurst.

From the junction of the A29 and the A281 to the south,[n 4] the course of Stane Street passes through Waterland Farm, becomes a lane which joins the Rowhook Road next to the Chequers Inn, a Grade II listed building [n 5] and continues in a northeasterly direction towards Ockley in Surrey, where it once again joins the A29.

While divided by the parish boundaries of Warnham, Slinfold and Rudgwick, the majority of the hamlet and in particular, Rowhook Manor,[15] which is a Grade II listed building of early medieval origin, is in Warnham civil parish.[16]
