Talk:Worth, West Sussex

I have rewritten this article since it seem to be uncertain of what it is discussing! There are two parts to Worth: I have therefore divided the article between those two parts.
 * the part now subsumed within Crawley New Town, but an ancient village nonetheless
 * the civil parish, which has been much reduced from its original size.

There is some discussion as to the need to have a separate article for each of the neighbourhoods of Crawley: I agree with the suggestion that there is no need, and none of them can be truly called villages in any case! Peter Shearan 16:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Worth / Mid Sussex
From my extensive research of the Worth area I can clarify that the area actually falls in the Mid Sussex area. The place called Worth in Crawley has been renamed Worth by some bored residents who go around changing the signs!! That area actually falls into the neighbourhood of Pound Hill or Maidenbower. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.83.85.193 (talk) 16:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

The place "Worth" appears as far back as the Domesday book. While it is now, administratively part of Crawley, to claim that it has been renamed by "bored residents" ignores the 950 years of documented history prior to the establishment of Crawley New Town in the 1950s, and the fact that the Ecclesiastical Parish is "The Parish of Worth, Maidenbower and Pound Hill." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.5.163.58 (talk) 16:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge, with redirect
I propose that unless much more can be said about this settlement, the content should be merged to a topic more likely to receive search hits, and our readers given a more informative article overall. Rodhull andemu  23:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Worth Civil Parish and Worth Village
The statement 'Worth is a civil parish in the borough of Crawley and Mid Sussex district of West Sussex' is confusing - it can't be both. There is a civil parish in Mid Sussex District called Worth - the principal settlements being Copthorne and Crawley Down. It should have a separate page, as does every other civil parish in Mid Sussex. There is a part of Crawley called 'Worth' (labelled as such on the 1:25 000 OS map). It should be covered in the article on Crawley, or in a separate article called (perhaps) Worth Village, Crawley. Topo122 (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes it should be split back, while its true that we don't normally have separate articles for settlement and CP, this shouldn't apply when the CP doesn't include the settlement.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 09:56, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
