  • Lancing is a village and civil parish in the Adur district of West Sussex, England, on the western edge of the Adur Valley. It lies on the coastal plain between Sompting to the west, Shoreham-by-Sea to the east and the parish of Coombes to the north. It is sometimes credited as being the largest village in England, covering an area of 3.65 miles² (946.4 hectares). It is a mix of coastal urban dwelling and rural chalk downland landscape. The oldest non-religious buildings date to around 1500 CE. The 2002 population was around 19,000. The village was a popular seaside resort in the mid-19th century, gaining favour from the gentry of the time for its secluded atmosphere. Lancing today no longer has a notable tourist trade although there are a number of small guest houses, most of them on the A259 coast road.
  • Lancing er en landsby og et verdslig sogn i West Sussex i England. Den ligger i distriktet Adur, med Sompting mot vest, Shoreham-by-Sea mot øst og Coombes mot nord. Stedet er en av landsbyene som hevder å være den største i England, med omkring 19 000 innbyggere i 2002. De eldste ikke-religiøse bygningene i Lancing er fra omkring år 1500. Landsbyen ble et populært reisemål rundt midten av det 19. århundre. Det er lite igjen av turistnæringen, men det drives noen mindre gjestehus. Utenfor Lancing ligger en strand, som ved lavvann har en lang strekning med fin sand. Sør for kystveien A259 finner man Widewater, som er en lagune med brakkvann. Rett nord for landsbyen ligger Lancing Ring, et naturreservat som inngår i Sussex Downs, et Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Mot nord ligger et jordbruksområde knyttet til Lancing College Farm, og mot øst Shoreham Airport, som er verdens eldste flyplass som har vært i kontinuerlig drift, og som var base for RAF under andre verdenskrig. Mye av området som nå er dekket av boliger var tidligere familiedrevne frukt- og blomstergårder som leverte til Brighton Market eller Covent Garden i London. Lancing stasjon ble åpnet 24. november 1845, på det som nå heter West Coastway Line. London, Brighton and South Coast Railway åpnet et vognverksted der Churchill industriområde nå ligger. Dette ble nedlagt 1964–1965.
