Aldingeborne is described in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having 69 households (28 villagers, 38 smallholders and three slaves), a value to the lord of the manor of £18 and in the largest 20 per cent of settlements recorded in the survey; as well as agricultural holdings and resources, the church was listed, and the tenant in chief was the bishop of Chichester. It was in the Hundred of Boxgrove. In 1861 the parish extended to 3060 acre and had a population of 772. and had increased to 4,443 by 2021.
