About this book
The book is Seaward Sussex, The South Downs from End to End, by Edric Holmes, with one hundred illustrations by Mary M. Vigers and maps and plans by the author. The text says the traveller is taken up and down without any regard for his consequent fatigue, when it is assured that his rest will be sweet, even though it may be only under a hawthorn bush. The text says the common folk hereabouts term the good people Pharisees and style these emerald circles Hagtracks.
The text says a church has a modern association which will be of interest to all lovers of wild nature: in 1887 Richard Jeffries was buried there. The text says John Bunnett, interred in 1734, aged 109, had six wives, three of whom he married and buried after he was 100. The text says the Norman south door, covered by a wooden porch dating from the eighteenth century, should be noticed.
