Thakeham is a rural village and civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England. It lies on the lower slopes of the South Downs National Park, set among rolling chalk downland, arable fields and hedgerow-lined lanes, with long views towards the downs and the coast that make it popular with walkers and riders.
The local economy is still largely agricultural, supplemented by a few small businesses and many commuters to nearby towns. The village retains a strong historic and community feel - traditional flint and brick cottages and a parish church with medieval roots sit alongside a village hall, pub and active clubs; annual fêtes and local conservation projects help keep a lively social fabric while preserving the rural character.
