Hammer is a small rural hamlet in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England. It sits on the low-lying agricultural plain a few miles from the city of Chichester and close to the escarpment of the South Downs, with a dispersed pattern of farms, cottages and hedgerow-lined lanes.
Historically tied to farming and local estates, the built fabric still shows traditional flint and brick buildings and working farmsteads; today the local economy is a mix of agriculture, small rural enterprises and commuters into nearby towns. Community life is typical of small West Sussex hamlets, centred on parish activities and links with neighbouring villages and larger centres such as Goodwood and Chichester, which provide cultural amenities and easy access to Roman and medieval heritage.
