Notable Landmarks
Manor Farm House is a Grade II listed building and the farm and its cottages are the main feature in West Worldham. It was owned for some time by the Broce family. Manor Farm is one of the UK's twenty-three Feather Down Farms. Pullens Farmhouse is also a Grade II listed building, and although its inscription dates to 1652, it shows medieval characteristics.
Adjacent to the Manor Farm is St Nicholas Church, small church dated to the late 12th century, which forms one of eleven churches in the Northanger benefice. It fell into ruin and lost its roof before it was restored in the late Victorian period in 1888. It is a single-cell building, with 2 small lancets on the north side, and contains windows dated to the 15th and 16th century. The two doorways date to the 13th century, and the timber-framed porch on the south side to the 15th century. The interior is described as "plain, with a piscina in the east wall and 2 in the nave, an octagonal font, and 3 wall monuments of the late 18th century." The church became a listed building on 31 July 1963.
