Kingston by Ferring , usually known simply as Kingston is a small civil parish in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is comprised of the three settlements of East and West Kingston, and Kingston Gorse and is located between Ferring and East Preston civil parishes, three miles (5km) to the west of Worthing. The parish covers an area of 228.72ha and has a population of 702 persons (2001 census).
The original village including the parish church was lost to the sea some time around 1630,[1] and remains have been found well below the present high water line.[2]
It should not be confused with Kingston-by-Sea (also known as Kingston Buccii) which is along the coast to the east.
