ARUNDEL (UK PARLIAMENT CONSTITUENCY)

'Arundel' was twice a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. The first incarnation strictly comprised the town of Arundel and was a borough constituency first enfranchised in 1332 and disenfranchised in 1868 under the Reform Act 1867. Arundel initially elected two members, but this was reduced to one in 1832 by the Great Reform Act.
The second incarnation of the seat comprised also the area surrounding Arundel, including towns like Littlehampton. It was created by the Boundary Commission in the 1974 boundary changes, existing until 1997. Arundel now only elected one member.
The territory previously covered by Arundel was split between Arundel & South Downs and Bognor Regis & Littlehampton constituencies.
