Colworth is a hamlet in Sussex, sitting just off the A259 road two and a half miles north of the seaside resort of Bognor Regis.
History
In 988 AD King Æthelred the Unready granted four hides at Colworth to his minister Leofstan, with leave to bequeath it to whom he would.[1][2]
A chapel at Colworth is referred to in Sussex county records in 1510.[2]
The disused Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, which was abandoned in 1855, passes through the hamlet.
