Bosham Church

            Holy Trinity Church in Bosham dates from Saxon times and is the oldest church in West Sussex.  

It is understood King Canute, who reigned between 1016 and 1035, had a palace in Bosham and appears to have a connection to the church through the death of his daughter. She is believed to have drowned in the nearby millpond and a stone slab set in the floor of the church states she was the daughter of the King aged about 8 years. Her name is not recorded.

I was intrigued by the stone plaque mounted in the wall by the gate which mentions another sad story of a young life lost through drowning so thought I would investigate further.

Jenefer Wornum was a wealthy heiress who lived a stones throw from the Church at Bosham Manor. Having obtained a degree in England, she went to Australia to study Zoology. She drowned when her luxury yacht was washed onto rocks during a bad storm off the New South Wales coast in 1950. The gates at the entrance were designed by her father, a renowned architect, as a memory of his daughter.

A sad story of two young lives lost by drowning both with a connection to a small village in Sussex but almost 1000 years apart!
