Linch is an Anglican parish,[2] and a loose collection of hamlets that make up the civil parish of the same name in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England, 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Midhurst. It has an eighteenth-century church dedicated to St Luke.
History
Norman period
Linch (Lince) was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) in the ancient hundred of Easebourne as having 14 households: seven villagers, five smallholders and two slaves; with woodland, meadows, ploughing land and a church, it had a value to the lord of the manor, Robert, son of Theobald, of £5.[3]
19th century
In 1861, the parish area was 1,220 acres (490 ha), described as "chiefly waste or woodland", and a population of 111.[2]
21st century
In the 2001 census there were 29 households in the civil parish with a total population of 78 of whom 40 were economically active.[1]
Parish church
According to Kelly's Directory of 1867, the parish church of St Luke was built around 1700. It contains an unusual stained glass window of much earlier date; the stone church is otherwise plain.[2]
Hollycombe Steam Collection
The Hollycombe Steam Collection is in the parish.[4]
