A Glimpse into Horsham’s History
Horsham’s origins date back to at least AD 947, when it was first recorded in a Saxon land charter.
It developed as a market town during the medieval period, with regular fairs and agricultural trade drawing people from across Sussex and Surrey.
By the Victorian era, Horsham expanded further, supported by the arrival of the railway and local industries such as brewing and brickmaking.
Today, that history remains visible in the layout of the town and its preserved buildings, particularly around the Causeway and St Mary’s Church.
