Background
History
Although in the ancient hundred of Boxgrove, Oving was not listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, while several surrounding villages were. Kelly's Directory of 1867 describes the ecclesiastical parish as extending to 2946 acre with a population of 949. In 1894, the portion of Rumboldswyke lying outside the city limits of Chichester was added to Oving parish. In 1895, the parish of Portfield, West Sussex was added to Oving parish. The West Sussex Review Order of 1933 incorporated the parish of Merston into Oving, increasing the acreage of Oving to 3,013.
