Mannings Heath

Mannings Heath is a village in the civil parish of Nuthurst and the Horsham District of West Sussex, England.

[1] Mannings Heath is the largest settlement in Nuthurst, and largely a dormitory for Horsham.

Mannings Heath has an Anglican church dedicated to The Good Shepherd, built in 1881,[1] a village hall, a village green incorporating Nuthurst Cricket Club's cricket ground, a riding school, and a golf course – Mannings Heath Golf Club, which is in both Nuthurst and the neighbouring parish of Lower Beeding.

A History of the County of Sussex commented in 1987 that roads and houses had been "built with a variety of design that largely preserved the original character of the hamlet".

[citation needed] Notable former inhabitants have included Norman Tebbit, Baron Tebbit of Chingford[2] (a Cabinet minister in the Thatcher government), and the late television and film actor Peter Vaughan with his actress wife, Lilias Walker.
