Wiggonholt is a small village in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England. 1 mile (2km) south of Pulborough on the A283 road, consisting of a farm, a few houses and a small medieval church.
The RSPB Pulborough Brooks wildfowl reserve is to the south and west of the church, on the floodplain of the River Arun. A Roman Road, the Greensand Way, from north of Lewes passed north of the village to join Stane Street at Hardham on the west bank of the Arun. The remains of a Roman bath house have been excavated beside the Roman road. Wiggonholt Common to the south is an area of open woodland popular with walkers which adjoins Parham Park.
The small rectangular medieval church of unknown dedication has a bell turret and Horsham stone roof, and contains a Sussex marble font[1].
