In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Eartham like this:

It contains part of Sea-beach; and its post town is Slindon, under Arundel. Acres, 1, 504. Real property, £1, 393. Pop., 121. Houses, 28. Eartham Hall was the seat of the poet Hayley, inherited from his father; passed by sale to the Right Hon. ...
W. Huskisson; and has been greatly altered. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Chichester. Value, £210. Patron, the Lord Chancellor. The church is chiefly early English, but has a Norman chancel arch; and it contains a very fine monument, by Flaxman, to a son of Hayley, and a tablet to Huskisson.
