This article needed heavy amending, as follows:

"historically unremarkable" it says - the Domesday Book would say otherwise!
more info re railways: don't understand how the station was apparently "very much larger and more important": it is only comparatively recently that regular services from Brighton beyond Portsmouth operated. It may be that some more adept person than I can reduce the size of the illustration?
why fastfood takeaway resturants should be a "key area of interest" is debatable: it hardly differentiates it from any other small town!
the next three sentences are completely POV - "drunken blaggerds (sic)" and the note about the Inn
John Prescott's edict about the extra thousands of people having to be found homes in also a common factor with most SE towns and villages, and the comment about commuters is also somewhat sweeping. And commuters to where? Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth etc etc .. not just London surely?

Surely Barnham is just becoming a town like hundreds of other villages ... Peter Shearan 10:45, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. I've changed the description to "large village", not "small" Millbanks (talk) 12:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've blocked any and all references to my inclusions about development in the town yet the original piece of text that says, "As with many other such villages in the south-east of England, there are plans for many more houses to be built, mostly retirement apartments for the elderly." remains-where is the source for that, surely that is as 'guilty' of the perceived crime of being random information/news as my own censored info on same? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.17.38 (talk) 18:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuffs exists is never a valid argument on Wikipedia. Remove the unsourced statements if you wish or else find citations for them.--Charles (talk) 21:56, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a very small town.There is a Myth of the Barnham ghost he walk on the Barnham primary school ground every Christmas eve he comes out and changes something in the school to make a danger hazard. The reason he does this is because when he was a child at that barnham school he was killed by a school fire so he want that to happen to one of the school children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.164.255 (talk) 18:42, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Postal Barnham versus Barnham parish

This article needs some clarification of the difference between what the Post Office and most villagers would call Barnham (includes Farnhurst Road area, Philip Howard school, Elm Grove, railway station, The Square) and the true parish of Barnham (boundary runs along the Rife - land west of here is in Eastergate parish).

For example - the glasshouses referred to are almost all in Eastergate, Walberton and Yapton parishes (including most of those in Lake Lane). Most of the new housing is also in these parishes (except the former Barnham Garden Centre site and old Barnham Primary School site). Most of the station complex is in Eastergate parish.

I've added some minor updates to cover some of these points, but I think this article needs rewriting from the ground up.

Graybo 13:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC) I added the detail about the Barnham Bridge Inn closure Sandy Hood —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.97.28 (talk) 21:09, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
