In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Appledram like this:
APPLEDRAM, a parish in Westhampnett district, Sussex; on the E side of Chichester harbour, adjacent to the Arundel and Portsmouth canal and the South Coast railway, 2 miles SW of Chichester. Post Town, Chichester. Acres, 1,197; of which 290 are water. Real property, £1,768. Pop., 129. Houses, 29. ...
The property is divided among four. Appledram House is an old Tudor edifice. A farmhouse near the church is said to have been part of a castle which William Renan was stopped in building in the time of Edward II., and the rest of the materials for which he used in erecting the tower that bears his name at Chichester. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Chichester. Value, £64. Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Chichester. The church is early English, and had a chantry.
