Woodmancote in Horsham, West Sussex, England is a small, largely rural village in the Horsham district, set among rolling downland and farmland a short drive from Horsham and the South Downs. The name hints at medieval origins - essentially "woodman's cottage" - and the settlement still shows a mix of flint and timber‑framed cottages, old farm buildings and a few listed houses that reflect its agricultural past.
Historically centred on farming, the local economy today is a blend of agriculture and commuters who travel to nearby towns; community life tends to revolve around the parish, village hall and seasonal events. Quiet lanes, hedgerows and historic barns give Woodmancote a distinctly rural character that appeals to walkers and to people seeking country living within easy reach of urban amenities.
