The parish of West Grinstead covers an area of 2584 hectares (6382 acres)and consists of the villages of West Grinstead, Littleworth, Partridge Green and Dial Post. In the 2001 census 2934 people lived in 1099 households, of whom 1547 were economically active. At the 2011 Census the population was 3,054[2]
The village should not be confused with the much larger town of East Grinstead which lies 17.5 miles (28 km) to the north-east.
Knepp Castle is located to the west of the village near the A24. It was a motte castle and founded in the 12th century by William de Braose. Some remains of the keep still stand.
The modern Knepp Castle nearby is a castellated mansion by John Nash.[5]
LeisureEdit
The Downs Link long-distance path runs through the parish and can be used for walking or cycling.
