==Kingston Buci old village==
{{Main|Kingston by Sea}}
Originally the people of Kingston Buci may have lived at Thundersbarrow.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} This may have been the centre of a large estate in the post-Roman Dark Ages. However, in early or mid-Saxon times, the people may have re-located down off the hill to Kingston Buci ({{gbmappingsmall|TQ 235 052}}), which sits to the east of Shoreham-by-Sea. It has a medieval church, rectory, manor house, and huge old barn which still make it a remarkable cluster – and, like [[Cissbury]] (where the people came off the hill to form [[Findon, West Sussex|Findon]]) and at [[Mount Caburn]] (where people re-located down at [[Beddingham]]), this stranded settlement is three quarters of a mile from the Downs. The church here was extensively re-modelled in the thirteenth century when the shifting river estuary temporarily made Kingston a port town.

The 'king' of the name 'Kingston' may have referred to a Saxon king of Sussex.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} The 'Buci' part of the name comes from the Anglo-Norman owners' hometown of Bouce in [[Normandy]].
