Nuthurst is a village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. The north of the parish borders Horsham town, with Nuthurst village 3 miles (5 km) south from the border.
Parish land area is 1697 hectares (4191 acres). In the 2001 census 1711 people lived in 702 households, of whom 875 were economically active.
Apart from Nuthurst village, the parish contains dispersed farms and residential properties, the village of Mannings Heath, the largest settlement, and the hamlets of Copsale, Monk's Gate, Maplehurst, and Sedgwick. Sedgwick Park, approximately 2 miles (3 km) south from Horsham, is a largely nineteenth–century house but with one wing possibly dating from 1608.[2] In the grounds are the fragmentary remains of the medieval Sedgwick Castle, surrounded by a now mostly dry moat.[3]
