Kingston by Sea history

Kingston-by-Sea was first settled during the Bronze Age and was also inhabited by Romans. By the medieval period, Kingston was a large village whose nucleus was further south than the ancient settlement, which had been on the lower slopes of the South Downs. The manor house was first described in the 14th century, but it was rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was sold for use as a school in the 1940s, and now houses Shoreham College, an independent school.
