an original Quintain
Offham has a quintain on the village green that was reported in medieval times for use in jousting. It is reputed to be the last English quintain in its original position, though it was removed for safe keeping during the Second World War.[2] The village gets its name from "Offa", the name of a Saxon landowner, and "ham", a village or homestead
