Lyminster is a village in Lyminster and Crossbush civil parish, in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It is just north of Littlehampton, about 2 miles (3 km) north of the town centre. The civil parish covers an area of 587 hectares (1,451 acres) and the 2001 Census recorded a parish population of 351 people.
Just to the north of the village is a knuckerhole which, according to legend, was once the home of a dragon, the Knucker. The 11th-century Saxon[2] Church of England parish church of St Mary Magdalene contains a tombstone called the Slayer's Slab, which is supposed to be from the tomb of the dragonslayer. The church has a ring of six bells and the local public house is called The Six Bells.[3] There is a view of the South Downs from the north side of the church.
