In earlier centuries a horse fair was held at Egdean. It was one of the last occasions on which the 3rd Earl of Egremont was seen out in public before he died in 1837.[3] The earl gave a £20 prize for the best three-year-old colt or filly.[4]
The Anglican church of St Bartholomew, dating from the 16th century, is in regular use.[5]
