ITCHENOR

Itchenor is a highly regarded sailing village, with a friendly community and the lovely ancient St Nicholas’ Church dating to about the year 1180 and there are a couple of very popular local public houses/restaurants; The Ship near the harbour in the heart of the village near the sailing club and The Lamb on the Chichester/West Wittering Road. This very desirable rural village is surrounded by farmland much of which is protected and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, located about 3 miles from the amazing sandy beach at West Wittering and about 6 miles south of the historic city of Chichester. West Itchenor dates from the Roman era and was subsequently resettled by the Anglo Saxons and takes its name from the chieftain Icca, who laid claim to its shoreline, originally known as Iccanore ('Icca's shore’), which translates  as “Icca’s Landing Place’, the name of which eventually became ‘Itchenor’ during about the 12th century.
