Buncton (Shoreham by Sea.
Buncton existed as a settlement at the time of the
exclaves of the parish of Ashington within the Rape of Bramber, one of the six ancient subdivisions of Sussex.[3] The medieval manor house has vanished, but a 17th-century replacement still stands.[3]
The most notable building in Buncton is
sheela-na-gig, which was destroyed by an act of vandalism in 2004.[6]
Until 2007 All Saints' was a district chapel of ease, subordinate to St Mary's Church at Wiston, but in that year the status of the two buildings was reversed, with All Saints' becoming the Parish Church.
