Marden is a small rural parish in the district of Chichester, in West Sussex, England. Set amid rolling downland and mixed farmland typical of the area, it consists of scattered hamlets and lanes rather than a single nucleated village, offering a quiet countryside character close to larger market towns.
Historically agricultural with roots stretching back to the medieval period, the parish retains traditional buildings and field patterns; farming still plays a significant role while some residents commute to nearby centres. Local life is understated and community-focused, with conservation, walking and wildlife interest increasingly important to both residents and visitors.
