Kirdford is a village and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England.
In the Middle Ages iron production using ironstone and charcoal,[citation needed] and forest glass making were important industries.
In the twentieth century apple growing was established through a cooperative venture, Kirdford Growers, based at the western end of the village.
The Grade I listed church of St. John the Baptist is built of local sandstone and roofed with Horsham stone slabs.
[5] Near the road junction to the west of the church an inscribed stone set into the old rectory wall warns against drunkenness in no uncertain terms.
