Some neolithic remains have been found at Horsham. The town is not mentioned in Domesday Book, but the Rape of Bramber, in which it lies, belonged at that time to William de Braose. His descendants held the borough and the manor of Horsham, and through them they passed to the family of
Mowbray
 , afterwards dukes of Norfolk. There are traces of burgage tenure at Horsham in 1210, and it was called a borough in 1236. It has no charter of incorporation. Horsham sent two representatives to
parliament
  from 1295 until 1832, when the number was reduced to one. In 1885 it was disfranchised. In 1233
Henry
  III. granted William de Braose a yearly three-days'
fair
  at his manor of Horsham. In the reign of Edward I. William de Braose claimed to have a free market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Fairs are held on the 5th of April, 18th of July, 17th of November and 27th of November. Market days are Monday and Wednesday. " Glovers " of Horsham are mentioned in a patent roll of 1485, and a brewery existed here in the time of Queen Anne.
