Shoreham-by-Sea Attractions

To the west of Newhaven, linked up with the outskirts of Brighton, lies Shoreham-by-Sea (pop. 22,000). Seafaring enthusiasts will find models of historic ships and navigation maps in Marlipins Museum, whose facade dates from the 14th century.
Shoreham-by-Sea is crossed by the River Adur and with the sea nearby it brings diverse plant and wildlife to the area. The second largest market in Sussex is held every second Saturday in Shoreham-by-Sea.
Churches
The town of Shorham-by-Sea has two mainly Norman churches, St Nicholas' in Old-Shoreham dates from the mid-12th century, while St Mary de Haura's in New-Shoreham was begun in 1130.
Marlipins Museum (closed for renovations during 2003)
Marlipins Museum has a distinctive chequer board facade that blends Sussex flint with Norman Caen stone. Major renovations to this historical and maritime museum will allow for new permanent galleries and an active temporary exhibition programme.
