BURY PARISH

Introduction

The tranquil and picturesque parish of Bury lies in the Chichester district of West Sussex within the South Downs National Park, created in 2010. It has a strong agricultural heritage and comprises pasture and arable land with large areas of woodland. The majority of the Parish lies between the chalk of the scarp slope of the Downs in the south and the clay of the Weald in the north east. There is a substantial area of greensand in the middle, running east west to the water meadows on the alluvium of the Arun river valley. The varied geology and topography has created a variety of habitats from deciduous woodlands, copses, hedgerows, and ancient trees to scrub, heathland, acid, calcareous and unimproved wet grassland. Bury village is the largest settlement within the parish and is located five miles south-west of Pulborough. The eastern border of the village runs along the River Arun.
