About - |
| Hi, and welcome to Horshamite, a website
intended for (but not limited to) the residents or former residents of
Horsham, a small market town in Sussex, England.
Horsham has had a long and colourful
history. The name first appeared in a charter of 947 AD, when it referred
to a meadow used for keeping or breeding horses. Although not mentioned in
the Doomsday book, Horsham had become prosperous by the thirteenth century
when it was an important market town and later a stop on the staging route
from London to Worthing and Littlehampton. Further development came with
the arrival of the railway in the 1840s, and with A-roads linking it up to
other towns in the area, Horsham is still a local hub for the numerous
surrounding villages. |
