More about this scene

Only a stone's throw from the historic settlement of Arundel, the village of Burpham is a gem of a place. Pronounced 'Burfam', the village is famous for its 12th-century church, which contains a leper's window through which the wretched victims of this terrible disease were blessed by the priest who remained inside the church. One author summed up Burpham's beauty by saying: 'seldom is a village so delightfully situated, even in Sussex'.
