Description
Excerpt from Worth Church: Sussex
Wyrth mentioned in Saxon is the Worth of modern English; or it may be that Ethel ward received it by deed of gift, for we know Worth was a Royal manor in the reign of Edward the Confessor; and being royal, a church probably existed in Alfred''s time. We also know that the Manor of Ditcheling was bequeathed by Alfred to his cousin or kinsman Osforth, with other places in Sussex, which the will mentions, are all thatl in weal district have. The Manor of Ditche ling then embraced part of the parishes of Chailey, Ardingly, Balcombe, and Worth. It is important to remember that the manor, not parish, was the boundary of a district in Doomsday Book time. Manors are often to be recognised in different parishes as mentioned in Doomsday Book, although the names of the parishes themselves may not be And so by some it is thought that Worth, joining the Surrey border, was included in the hundred of Churchfelle, and appeared as Orde in the Doomsday Book.
