Stopham is a small rural parish in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, tucked into the valley of the River Arun. Its landscape is a mix of riverside meadows and chalk downland, and it is perhaps best known locally for the historic stone bridge that crosses the Arun and the sense of open countryside that attracts walkers and birdwatchers.
Historically the area has been agricultural, with estate houses and farm buildings reflecting its long rural past, and today it remains sparsely populated with a quiet village character. Many residents work in nearby market towns such as Pulborough and Fittleworth, while the parish’s riverside setting and historic features make it a modest local draw for anglers, ramblers and those interested in Sussex vernacular history.
