East Lavington, formerly Woolavington, is a village and civil parish in the District of Chichester in West Sussex, England.

The parish is dominated by Seaford College, a private school which owns 400 acres (1.6 km2).

[5] St Peter's parish church, also Grade II* listed, has become the school chapel.

In July 1553, John Fowler, a courtier of Edward VI, was made Keeper of the Great Park of Petworth or "Woolavington" in Sussex.

The old house at Lavington Park is long demolished, but the 1587 building contract described how the chimneys, windows, and corner quoins should be made "verie artyficiallie and conninglie".
