Sompting
Sompting is a village and civil parish in the coastal Adur District of West Sussex, England between Lancing and Worthing. It is half grassland slopes and half developed plain at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Twentieth-century estates dovetail into those of slightly larger Lancing. Etymology The village's name comes from the Old English ''*sumpt'' + ''-ingas'', meaning "(settlement of) the dwellers at the marsh". Its earliest recorded form is ''Suntinga'', in a document of 956, but Domesday Book (1086) renders the name as ''Sultinges'', its Norman-speaking clerks being unfamiliar with the consonant-cluster ''-mpt''. As the toponymist Adrian Room noted, there is no obviously marshy land there nowadays, but it is low-lying and near the sea. Landmarks and major buildings The Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin is a Grade I-listed Anglo-Saxon and Norman church, separated from the centre of the village since 1939 by the busy A27 road. Its tower is topped with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
