Findon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Findon is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Worthing. The parish has an area of 16.41 km² and a population of 1848 persons (2001 census).
The village is now bypassed by the A24 as it crosses the South Downs: the bypass was constructed in 1938. A modern settlement to the south of the village is called Findon Valley. Findon lies between two hills: to the east, that which contains Cissbury Ring; and to the west Church Hill. The area has great archaeological interest: as well as Cissbury, a prehistoric hill fort, there are Bronze Age and Roman sites nearby.
The village church is dedicated to St John the Baptist. There are two public houses, The Gun Inn and The Black Horse, both in the High Street. There is also an Indian restaurant located on Horsham Road, called the Tajdar. The village also has a small primary school, situated on School Hill, called Saint John the Baptist. It boasts many annual events, including a fireworks display and May Day celebrations.
