Wisborough Green
Wisborough Green is a village and civil parish in West Sussex, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Billingshurst on the A272 road.
Newbridge, where the A273 crosses the River Arun 8 miles (13 km) east of the village, was the highest point of the Arun Navigation, and the southern end of the Wey and Arun Canal. Newbridge Wharf(e), beneath the bridge, was an important part of the local transport system in the nineteenth century, before which, in the parish much further south, Pallingham Quay or Wharf was the limit of most navigation.
Wisborough Green has its own parish council, with nine councillors.
Following a boundary review in 2019, the electoral ward of Wisborough Green was abolished. The village is now represented within the electoral ward of Loxwood, which elects two people to the Chichester District Council.
Wisborough Green elects a representative to West Sussex County Council. Its member of Parliament is Andrew Griffith who sits for the constituency of Arundel and South Downs.
Wisborough Green supports a village shop, which incorporates a post office. There is a twice-weekly bus service to nearby Billingshurst.
Around the large village green, used for playing cricket and football, are two pubs, the Cricketers Arms and the Three Crowns, and a village shop. Nearby hamlets include Burdocks, Strood Green, and Newpound, which has a third pub, The Bat & Ball, near Fishers Farm, a farm adventure park.
Wisborough Green School was founded in the late 19th century, with a purpose-built schoolhouse neighbouring the church. That building is no longer used by the school, which completed a new structure in 1997, and significant extensions in 2014, reflecting the growing population.
