Sussex by Denys Skinner
Sussex is a country rich in history waiting to be explored by the local, the visitor and the student alike. This title introduces the people and the historical events that have made the county what it is. Topics covered include: the geography - the South Downs, the open forests and heathlands and the coast; the people - from Neolithic Man to the Prince Regent; the buildings - Saxon and Norman churches, imposing castle at Arundel and Bodiam, the splendour of Petworth and the quiet beauty of Batemans; and the communitites - popular resorts of Eastbourne and Brighton, idyllic villages and hamlets full of reminders of times long past.
