There has been a settlement at East Wittering for over a thousand years. Before the Norman Conquest King Harold had control of the Bishops. The area is mentioned in the Domesday Book and the parish church of The Assumption dates from the early 12th century: Pevsner describes it as having an impressive coherence and sureness of touch. For centuries the land was in the hands of the Wystryng family. In Victorian times the RNLI raised enough subscriptions to launch a distress boat from the beach at East Wittering, a role now covered by the Fire Service. Last century the area began to attract greater numbers of holiday makers but in May 1944 it became the landing beach for the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division during a dummy run for D-Day, code named Operation Fabius. Since then it has returned to a quiet area with a small primary school, popular with week end surfers.
