On this road leading to the sea front, the cottage on the left has flint walls and a thatched roof. The front garden is decorated with staddle stones. These were formerly used to support small granary buildings off the ground, to help to keep vermin out. Wattle fencing panels are being used for garden screening.

West Sussex Photographic Memories
Church Lane c1960. Despite encroaching development, there is still the hint of a quaint old village here at Ferring. The pebble and sandy beach provides views along the coast to Worthing pier; just a short distance inland are the grassy slopes of Highdown Hill, which has long been a popular recreational area for families.
