About

Rudgwick ward covers a predominantly rural area within the Horsham district, characterised by a mix of farmland, woodland, and scattered residential settlements. The landscape is defined by the rolling greensand ridges of the Weald, with the River Arun forming part of its western boundary. The ward includes the main village of Rudgwick itself, centred around its historic church and village green, alongside smaller hamlets like Bucks Green and Cox Green.

The area is notable for its network of narrow country lanes and public footpaths crossing the farmland. A specific local feature is the Rudgwick Brickworks, a historical industrial site reflecting the area's clay extraction heritage, now largely reclaimed by nature. The local economy has a strong agricultural base, with several working farms and a popular farm shop serving as a community hub.
