Hardham was a place to bicycle to from Pulborough, and visit St. Botolph's Church. One of the many very very old churches in West Sussex.

Extracts From Pulborough & West Sussex books

Along the southern boundary of Pulborough lies the River Arun, popular with Edwardian fishermen and boating enthusiasts. The river has always been a key focal point here, and is noted for its Pulborough eel. The Roman Stane Street crossed the Arun at this point and was strongly defended during the Occupation.

In common with all lychgates, Pulborough's ivy-covered, 14th-century churchyard gateway was originally built to provide shelter and a resting place for coffins prior to the funeral service. The church is mainly Perpendicular in style, and includes a sizeable 12th-century font. The war memorial stands proudly to the left of the lychgate.
