A general view of bosham church from across the inlet to Chichester Harbout. There is a disused private jetty in the foreground. Photographed at Low tide during December 2019.
The tower is the oldest part of the church and was built in four stages, the first three are Saxon and the top stage is Norman. The spire was added in the 15th century. The chancel arch was built in the 11th century shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066.

Bosham church is also depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry which features the series of events leading up to the Conquest of England by Duke William of Normany in 1066. There is also a long held tradition that early in the 11th century King Cnut’s young daughter was drowned in the millstream and was buried in the church. In 1865 a small stone coffin was found just in front of the chancel arch. However, without closer examination of the coffin precise dating of the coffin is difficult.
