History

Rogate is not mentioned by name in the Domesday Survey, but was assumed to be part of Harting Manor. It was in the Hundred of Dumpford, and Chichester rape, diocese and archdeaconery. It was in the Midhurst union, county court district and rural deanery. During the reign of Edward III (1327-1377) it was held by Ralph de Camois who was granted a charter for a fair.

Until the passing of the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 part of Rogate was an exclave of Hampshire.

In 1867 the population of Rogate parish was 990, and the area was 4,873 acres (19.72 km²). An annual fair was held on 27 September.
