Plaistow (/ˈplæst/ PLAST-oh[2]) is a village in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. It lay within the civil parish of Plaistow and Ifold. There is a village green with a pond, a shop overlooking it, a pub, The Sun Inn and an Anglican Church, all in the centre of the village. There are over thirty graded (previously known as listed) buildings in the village.[citation needed] The Sun Inn was purchased by the Pullen family in 1807. Plaistow Church was built in 1810 and Plaistow School in 1869. The village primary school is shared with Kirdford.
