Becket Way

Street guide, Pagham

A residential road named after St Thomas a Becket, the patron saint of Pagham's parish church. Becket Way is a modern residential development with detached and semi-detached houses, built in the later twentieth century. The street is quiet and well maintained, with a cul-de-sac layout that eliminates through traffic. The name reflects the strong historical connection between Pagham and the medieval church, which was dedicated to Becket following his martyrdom in 1170. Properties on Becket Way are popular with families, being close to the village centre and the primary school.
