Plaistow (/ˈplæstoʊ/ PLAST-oh) is a village in the North of Chichester District of West Sussex, England. The hamlet of Ifold was included in the 2011 Census population. There is a village green, a recreation ground, an outdoor childrens' playground, a village pond, a shop, a pub (The Sun Inn) and an Anglican Church, Winterton Hall with a Pre-school that has its own outdoor childrens playground and an outside Multi-Use Games Area all in the centre of the village. Plaistow Football Club lies on the outskirts of the village. There are over thirty Grade II buildings in the village. The Sun Inn was purchased by the Pullen family in 1807. Holy Trinity Church (A Chapel of Ease) was once a wooden structure which was destroyed by fire. The church was rebuilt in 1859. Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School was built in 1869. A plaque on the front of the school's original Victorian building acknowledges the significant funding from John Napper, Esquire of Ifold House, who then owned much of the land in the Civil Parish now known as Plaistow & Ifold Parish.
