History

Bepton (Babintone) was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) in the ancient hundred of Easebourne as having 23 households: 10 villagers, 10 smallholders and three slaves. With ploughing land and a church, it had a value to the lord of the manor of £5. The lord was an unspecified Geoffrey, and the tenant-in-chief was Earl Roger of Shrewsbury.[4]

In 1861, the population was 211, the parish was 1,224 acres (495 ha) and was mainly arable land. In Kelly's Directory of 1867, the church of St Mary was described as "an ancient flint building in the Anglo-Norman style, and has a nave, chancel, and tower".[3]

In 1931, its population was documented at 292. By 1953, its area had expanded to 1,910 acres (770 hectares).
