SHOREHAM , a seaport in the See also:Lewes See also:parliamentary See also:division of See also:Sussex, See also:England, near the mouth of the See also:river Adur, 6 m. W. of See also:Brighton on the See also:London, Brighton & See also:South See also:Coast railway. Pop. of See also:urban See also:district of New Shoreham (1901), 3839. The See also:town is sometimes known as New Shoreham, in distinction from the See also:village of Old Shoreham, a mile up the river, which was the former See also:port. The See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of St See also:Mary the Virgin lacks almost the entire See also:nave, but the See also:remainder shows See also:fine See also:work ranging from See also:Norman to See also:Early See also:English. Of no less See also:interest is the church of St See also:Nicholas, Old Shoreham, a cruciform Norman structure retaining some remarkable early woodwork. There are public gardens containing a museum and See also:theatre. The See also:trade of the small port is chiefly in See also:coal, See also:corn and See also:timber. See also:Shipbuilding is also carried on. The important public boys' school of St Nicholas, Lancing, near Shoreham, is See also:part of a wide See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme which within Sussex includes the See also:middle-class school at Hurstpierpoint, that for sons of tradesmen, &c., at St Saviour's, Ardingly, and the girls' school of St See also:Michael's, See also:Bognor. The scheme was originated by the Rev. N. See also:Woodward in 1849.
It seems probable that soon after the See also:Conquest the increasing prosperity of New Shoreham (Soresham, Sorham, Schorham) resulted in the decay of Old Shoreham, and that the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)

Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

William de See also:Braose. From here See also:Charles II. escaped to See also:Fecamp after the See also:battle of See also:Worcester, 1651. It became a port of See also:great consequence in the 13th and 14th centuries, but in the 15th and following centuries was much reduced, doubtless owing to the encroachment of the See also:sea. The port revived during the reign of See also:George III., when acts were passed for securing and improving the harbour. Shoreham was called a borough in 1236. In 1308 there was a See also:mayor, and the " mayor and bailiffs of Shoreham " are mentioned in a See also:Close See also:Roll of 1346, but no See also:charter of See also:incorporation is known. The town adopted the See also:Local See also:Government See also:Act of 1858 in 1866. It returned two members to See also:parliament from 1295 until it was disfranchised in 1885. In the reign of See also:Edward I., William de Braose held at Shoreham by prescriptive right weekly markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and a two-days' See also:fair at the Exaltation of the See also:Holy See also:Cross. In 1792 the See also:market-See also:day was Saturday and a fair was held on the 25th of See also:July, but these are not now held. See also:Ship-See also:building has always been the See also:chief See also:industry, and was largely carried on in the 13th and 14th centuries.
