About Walberton
Walberton is a village and civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England, 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Littlehampton, and south of the A27 road.

The parish includes the smaller village of Binsted to the east and the larger neighbourhood of Fontwell, less than two-thirds of a mile (1 km) to the north-west. Walberton has a medieval church next to its clustered centre.

History
The two churchyards have yielded archaeological evidence that there was settlement during the Bronze Age, about 3,500 years ago. Some fragments of brick and tile were discovered at Binsted during excavations in 1992.
Walberton is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the Hundred of Binsted (also called Avisford; called Binsted in 1086 but had its later name by 1166). It comprised 22 villagers, 17 cottagers and six slaves, plough land, woodland and meadows, as well as a church. Binsted itself was also listed as having 8 households.
The timber lychgate to the churchyard was installed as a war memorial in 1920.
