About

Cokeham and Sompting are residential areas situated on the northern fringes of the Adur district, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older, more established properties. The landscape is largely suburban, with the presence of the A27 forming a significant boundary to the north. The area is primarily functional, serving as a home for commuters to larger centres like Worthing and Brighton, with local amenities focused around a few key parades of shops serving daily needs.

The geography is defined by the gentle slopes leading down towards the coastal plain, with open fields and pockets of farmland still evident on its edges, particularly near Cokeham. A notable local landmark is the ancient parish church of St Mary's in Sompting, which features a rare and distinctive Saxon *Rhenish helm* tower, a unique architectural form in England. The area provides practical access to the South Downs, with the urban landscape giving way to downland scenery along its northern perimeter.
