Downs.</span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">About twenty years ago I spent a few days at Burpham, on the South Downs, not far from Arundel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One of the interesting things I noticed was that some of the old time
shepherds actually constructed sun-dials in the turf.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">They had learned to do this in the old days before watches were cheap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This is how it was done.—Having selected a fairly smooth bit of turf,
the shepherd marks a rough circle about 18 inches in diameter, with a pointed
stick, leaving the stick perpendicularly in the ground in the centre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Due south of this he fixes another stick, about twelve inches long, on
the periphery of the circle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The various land marks, and their bearings, are so well known to
shepherds, that they need no compass; and as a matter of fact, nearly every
shepherd can tell the approximate time without any watch or dial and even on
dull day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Having fixed the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">South</i> stick,
he places another due West, and still another due East, so that we get a
sundial with gnomons on the edge of a circle instead of being centre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As the uses of this form of dial are connected with the tending sheep,
it follows that its use is not required at all late, for the collecting and
folding for the night of a large flock of sheep, naturally takes time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

From: William Briwere, bishop of Exeter; the abbot of
Faversham Abbey; the abbot of Langdon Abbey; the prior of St Gregory's
Priory, Canterbury<br />
To: Pope Gregory IX<br />
<br />
They have inspected the following sealed instruments of Canterbury Cathedral
Priory:<br />
<br />
(1) Grant and confirmation by William II to Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury,
and Canterbury Cathedral Priory. The king grants the archbishop liberties as
specified within and outside towns ('burgus') and over as many thegns as King
Edward, the king's kinsman, granted to the priory. The king also grants the
priory the same liberties as fully as his servants ('ministri') ought to
acquire ('exquirere') them. He grants and confirms the port and [town?, word
omitted] of Sandwich with all its issues and customs on both sides of the
water to the priory as King Cnut gave it to them. He also grants the priory
all houses and customs in the town of Sandwich as Odo, bishop of Bayeux and
earl of Kent gave them to it. No-one, either French or English, is to
interfere in these things except the priory and its servants. No date
[1093x1100]. [Date: William II and Anselm's dates.]<br />
<br />
(2) Grant by Henry I to William of Corbeil, archbishop of Canterbury, and
Canterbury Cathedral Priory. He grants them all lands which they had in the
time of King Edward, his kinsman, and King William, his father with rights as
specified over their men within and outside towns as fully as his servants
ought to acquire them and over as many thegns as his father granted them.
No-one, either French or English, is to interfere in these things except the
priory and its servants because the king has made this grant for the
redemption of his soul as King Edward and his father did. No-one is to
infringe this unless they wish to lose the king's friendship. No date
[1123x1135]. [Date: Henry I and William of Corbeil's dates.]<br />
<br />
(3) Grant by Henry II to Theobald of Bec, archbishop of Canterbury, and
Canterbury Cathedral Priory. The king grants them all lands which they had in
the time of King Edward, King William, his great-grandfather ('proavus') and
King Henry, his grandfather, with rights as specified over their men within
and outside towns as fully as his servants ought to acquire them and over as
many thegns as King William his great-grandfather granted them. No-one,
either French or English, is to interfere in these things except the priory
and its servants because the king has made this grant for the redemption of
his soul and the souls of his ancestors. No-one is to infringe this unless
they wish to lose the king's friendship. Witness list. No date [1154x1161].
[Date: Henry II and Theobald's dates.]<br />
<br />
(4) Confirmation by Edmund of Abingdon, archbishop of Canterbury. The
archbishop knows from diligent enquiry made by good and faithful men that the
payment of £8 which the prior and convent of Canterbury Cathedral Priory are
accustomed to receive from the manor of Reculver belongs to them by right of
an ancient custom. The archbishop commands that the rent shall be paid to the
priory as specified. The archbishop confirms this, lest the rent and the
enquiry be hidden from his successors. Given at 'Slinden'' [Slindon in
Sussex?], Jan 1235.<br />
<br />
No date. [Date: date of Edmund of Abingdon's charter and William Briwere's
dates.]<br />
<br />
Endorsed with description and note that the document dates from the time of
St Edmund in late 13th cent hand.</div>

From: Richard of Dover, archbishop of Canterbury<br />
<br />
Goddard, rector of Slindon [Sussex], and Alexander the chaplain
('capellanus'), vicar of Slindon, have complained that the archbishop's
servants have been infringing the church's rights in wood, pastures and other
things, because the charter of Archbishop Theobald which granted Goddard the
church did not take full effect ('plene non constabat'). Richard has learned
upon investigation that in the time of the knights who held Slindon before
the time of Theobald or St Thomas Becket, the church had whatever it wanted
in the wood and pasture rights and other rights as specified. Richard grants
the church of Slindon the house ('curia') and 2 virgates of land which it
possessed anciently, with all the rights and liberties previously mentioned,
together with tithes of any assarts that may be made in future and tithes of
pannange and from the sale of wood and herbage and of all profits which may
arise from the wood and pasture. No-one is to infringe the possessions,
rights or liberties of the church on pain of anathema. Richard grants an
indulgence of 10 days to all who come to the church to pray on the
anniversary of its dedication. No date. [Date: handwriting.] Original sealed
on 11 Jul, when Richard dedicated the church and endowed it with the croft which
Sefrid the deaf ('surdus') held, no year. [Date: 11 Jul 1176xSep 1181, as in
English Episcopal Acta, cited below.]<br />

Witness: Mgr Gerard Pucella</div>

I met a local man in 2011who told me a strange
tale, at first I did not really believe this strange story, but curiosity got
the better of me, he invited to take me to a secret location, in Lambleys Lane
Sompting., it was here in a back garden there was a small door located in a
mound at the bottom of the garden, it’s approximately 4ft high, ( 1.5 meters.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #D99594; mso-background-themecolor: accent2; mso-background-themetint: 153;">
<span style="background: #D99594; mso-shading-themecolor: accent2; mso-shading-themetint: 153;">With some effort my companion and i managed
to open the door, in side with the aid of a torch I was able to view a tunnel
sloping downwards, with some difficulty I was able with bent back crawl along
the tunnel, I went in followed by my companion, we crawled for 50 meters, a
surprising length, as we went along the tunnel I was</span> aware that my shoes
and hands were getting coated in a sticky compound, the smell was getting
stronger, with slightly burnt smell.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #D99594; mso-background-themecolor: accent2; mso-background-themetint: 153;">
The tunnel then gave way to a small cavern, high
enough to stand up in, a relieve.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #D99594; mso-background-themecolor: accent2; mso-background-themetint: 153;">
The area seemed to light up easily with our
powerful torches, the walls were glistening with a black slightly runny
substance, the smell now was very strong, my companion suggest I tasted this sticky
substance must admit I was a little apprehensive, but tried a little <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it was very bitter, but not unpleasant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #943634; mso-background-themecolor: accent2; mso-background-themeshade: 191;">
What is this substance running out of the rock?,
my companion said treacle !, he told me that millions of years ago, trees were
laid down , over a period of millions of years this turned into what we know as
coal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #943634; mso-background-themecolor: accent2; mso-background-themeshade: 191;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #B2A1C7; mso-background-themecolor: accent4; mso-background-themetint: 153;">
This substance is similar, but not so hard,
softer; it is the residue of the sap of the Birch tree, the sap is used to make
Birch Sap Wine. Trees in parts of Sussex are to this day tapped for the sap,
which once fermented makes a pleasant wine. If you cut just a little into the
bark of this tree it bleeds a dark brown very sticky sap, which does in fact
taste like treacle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #B2A1C7; mso-background-themecolor: accent4; mso-background-themetint: 153;">
Thus this is tree sap, slightly sweet, black, and
sticky, .</div>

Now you know the origins of the treacle mines, it was mined and sold
from Roman times till around the 1930s, at this time more and cheaper sugars
were been grown in large quantities, thus making the mining redundant.
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #E36C0A; mso-background-themecolor: accent6; mso-background-themeshade: 191;">
To respect the location of this mine, please do
not try and explore the area, there is really nothing to see.</div>

16<sup>th</sup> January 1963 that Con Ainsworth had joined the Society and by
November 1963 he had been elected to the Committee. In January 1965 it was
reported at the meeting that the Research Committee of the Sussex
Archaeological Society wanted a representative of Worthing Archaeological
Society to serve on their Committee, and it was unanimously agreed that Con
should be that person.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1964 an investigation at Binsted commenced and ‘developed into a
full-scale research dig when the importance of the site became apparent’, also
it was the first Medieval kiln site to be excavated in West Sussex. Under the
direction of Con, work took place twice a week throughout the year. He found
two main structures, a semi-circular kiln for firing pots and a large
rectangular tile kiln, which was in a ‘unique state of preservation, the firing
chamber arches being largely intact and a portion of the oven wall still
surviving’. Huge amounts of pottery were recovered including fine Sussex Ware:
green-glazed and highly decorated jugs with face masks and annular brooch
design, and Coarse Wares. All the raw materials for pottery and tile making had
been available at the site. There is even a report of documentary evidence from
the Lay Subsidy Rolls suggesting that the operators of the kilns in 1332 may
have been Will Atte Potte and John le Tyghler, who were recorded as living in
the Hundred of Binsted. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">By November 1966, magnetic reading gave an earlier date for the kilns
than the archaeological evidence suggested. By January 1968, the site was being
filled in.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In the autumn of 1968, Con was carrying out a limited excavation at
Tortington to determine the ‘nature of the magnetic anomalies’ detected in a
gradiometer survey which had been carried out in 1967. In Con’s report, which
was included in the Annual Report for 1968/1969, he suggested that the site
might possibly be a 14<sup>th</sup> century moated site. An area 30 feet by 30
feet had been stripped which was determined to be a possible kitchen area of a
larger building, the sources of the anomalies being two hearths and two ovens. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Not all excavations are reported in great details in the Minutes or the
Annual Reports. For example at a meeting in April 1969, the Minutes state that
Con reported on a 16<sup>th</sup> century well at Applesham Farm and pottery
from salt mounds. The Minutes for a meeting in April 1971 state that a Roman
cremation burial was found near the back door of the Marquis de Granby public
house in Sompting and the finds included two cremation urns and pottery all of
Samian Ware. At the same meeting he spoke of New Monks Farm in Lancing just
west of Shoreham aerodrome, where a large number of salt mounds and one of
Medieval occupation were found. The pottery included that of late Saxon and
early Medieval. And in 1971, excavations at a Roman temple in Pulborough
revealed finds of fragments of painted plaster. The coin and ceramic evidence
confirmed the date of the destruction of the site as late 4<sup>th</sup>
century. The destruction of the site was indicated by the masses of concrete
flooring dumped into pits and ditches, together with wall masonry of Pulborough
Stone and roofing tile. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Con not only directed excavations. His lectures for the Society
included one on Rescue Archaeology in March 1972, where he showed slides of
rescue work in towns and on motorways by various local archaeologists. ‘All
societies must be ready to do this important work’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">He was also a speaker at the one-day conference at Brighton College in
November 1970, but unfortunately the Minutes do not say what his subject was.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">And finally, after having been a member of the Society for less that
ten years, Con was elected President for the year 1971/1972. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">During the digging season of 1962, the Society did not undertake any
excavations. Worthing Museum however, carried out a rescue excavation at
Steyning with the help of some Society members, where a sequence of settlement
dating from the 12<sup>th</sup> century to the late 17<sup>th</sup> century was
uncovered. Members also helped again in 1963 by observing building sites and
various kinds of public works. These works included the laying of water mains
between the junctions of Farncombe Road and Selden Road, which exposed a series
of five ditches and a habitation area and produced finds of Roman pottery from
the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> centuries. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">At Tarring recreation ground, one cable-laying site produced Medieval
pottery with a small scattering of Roman material mixed in. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A building site in Marlborough Road exposed a long layer of daub and
charcoal which had the appearance of being prehistoric, but unfortunately no
dateable material was found. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Members helped Worthing Museum again this year at Goring Methodist
Church where the complete foundations of a Medieval house and portions of two
others were excavated. Pottery proved to be 14the century. Other excavations
with the Museum were at Selden Woods, Steyning and the site of the old St
Paul’s Church. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This joint effort continued during 1964 at Offington Hall, Erringham
near Shoreham, where a Saxon weaving shed was found, and Wiggonholt near
Pulborough, which was the major undertaking, sponsored by the Ministry of Works
and Buildings. Widening of the A283 revealed evidence of settlement to the
north and south of the Roman bathhouse, which was excavated by Mr Winbolt in
1937 and 1939. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Dr Ratcliffe-Densham reported the finding of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a previously unknown type of prehistoric
horse at Selsey during low tide, and also of a skeleton found in a Roman ditch
in Sompting, both in 1965.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Excavations during 1965, apart from the kiln site at Binsted under the
direction of Con Ainsworth, were at Maison Dieu in Arundel. This was another
rescue excavation before the construction of an access road for the Post
Office. Maison Dieu was built in 1396 and the dig uncovered three of the wings
of its quadrangle. In the north wing a glazed tile floor was uncovered at four
feet below the surface, and in the west wing, five window embrasures and a cellar
were uncovered. Finds included 13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup>
century pottery, three tokens and fragments of red glass. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Another investigation this year was at the junction of Chesswood Road
and Ladydell Road, where it was hoped that further traces of the Roman cemetery
which was uncovered in 1881 would be found. However all that was found was an
interesting field-drainage pattern.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There was much less activity in 1966, but during 1967 Worthing Museum
and the Society excavated at St Cuthman’s Field in Steyning, 200 yards south of
St Andrew’s Church. This field had remained an open space for a very long time
and according to tradition, St Cuthman laid a curse so that no one ever built
on it. Chanctonbury Rural District Council had proposed to level the field, so it
was decided to investigate whether the curse was true!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It would seem that his curse was not ongoing because evidence of
occupation between the 10<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> and the late 13<sup>th</sup>
and 16<sup>th</sup> centuries were uncovered! Finds included food debris
(cockles, mussels and animal bones etc), local and imported pottery, a pair of
bronze tweezers. A coin of Edgar (959-975AD), horseshoe nails and a fine late
West Sussex Ware jug overlain by imported Flemish stoneware, and also evidence
of a possible trackway, post holes, evidence of a house and a chalk trodden
floor which also contained pieces of Roman roof tile and fragments of
Romano-British pottery which suggest a Roman building not far away. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Five burials and two cremations were excavated during 1968 at the lower
end of Steep Bottom on Worthing Golf Links. Unfortunately a mechanical digger
severely damaged the following: 2 Samian cups of form 27 probably East Gaulish,
1 Samian cup of form 33 probably East Gaulish, 1 Samian cup of form 43 probably
East Gaulish, a Samian dish form 18/31 stamped PATER Lezoux Hadrian, a
‘poppyhead’ beaker, a locally made platter, 2 dark grey locally made small
bowls, fragments of a pink flagon from the end of the 1<sup>st</sup> century.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1961 a 75 feet deep well had suddenly appeared in a field near
Findon, in the middle of a possible Roman site. A report was submitted by Dr
Ratcliffe-Densham in the 1964/65 Annual Report<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>stating that the excavation depth was 155 feet with no sign of the
bottom! Finds included Samian forms Curle 15 and Dragendorff 36, 2 potters
stamps not yet identified, a vessel of a shape ‘hitherto apparently unrecorded,
several coins of the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> centuries, yellow wall
plaster and part of a glass bottle. The BBC made a short broadcast from the
bottom of the well that year. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The site is not mentioned again until the 1969/70 Annual Report when it
was noted that the current depth was 225 feet! Pottery sherds were dated to the
2<sup>nd</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup> or 5<sup>th</sup> centuries and oats, spelt (a
kind of wheat) and barley were found amongst charred corn. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The following year a section near the top of the well disclosed some of
the spoil heap from the original excavation. Below this was an old, buried land
surface containing pottery sherds from the Iron Age and the Roman period, but
none appeared to be earlier than the 1<sup>st</sup> century (AD). It was
concluded therefore, that the well was dug during or shortly after the 1<sup>st</sup>
century and filled in during the fourth. The Annual Report also stated that air
photographs revealed a large, rectangular enclosure and probable buildings on
the slope to the west of the well. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Although this excavation was published in our Annual Reports, it would
appear that work was actually undertaken by Worthing Museum and the Chelsea
Speleological Society.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There were no major excavations during 1969, although building works
were observed. However, the skeletons of a Roman farmer and his wife were found
on Harrow Hill. ‘Fine excavations by Mr John Fryer disclosed that the old man
had been buried with his boots on’!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">1970 and 1971 were quiet years with just the odd find reported. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Discussions took place at a meeting in January 1965 as to whether the
Society should purchase a Proton Gradiometer. It would be a joint purchase with
four archaeological bodies in West Sussex ‘heavily engaged in field work’.
These bodies were this Society, the Worthing Correspondents Corp, the
Chichester Excavations Society and the Chichester Museum. The instruments use
is noted in the 1964/65 Annual Report: “Survey by Proton Gradiometer
(‘Bleeper’) – An intensive field survey of a number of sites using this
instrument left no doubt as to its invaluable role in modern scientific
archaeology”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">If the four societies supplied #50.00 each, the Carnegie United Trust
might donate #100.00. It was agreed at this meeting that an application be made
through the Council for British Archaeology be made. The application for a
grant was made, but was unfortunately refused.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">At this time, the Chichester Excavations Society were putting in an
application for research work and they suggested re-applying for a grant, and
emphasizing the number of student archaeologists and interested amateurs likely
to be receiving training. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Subsequently the Trust advised the Society that they were considering
the request, but by October, nothing had been heard from them. It was believed
though, that the Lincoln Museum was willing to loan out their gradiometer. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Annual Report for 1966 states that the Society had used a
gradiometer with mixed success, therefore one can assume that this was a loan.
And also, at a meeting in January 1968 it was suggested that an instrument much
more sensitive than a Proton Gradiometer was being developed, be purchased. How
quickly progress moves on. It was agreed to consider the matter, but there is
no further mention of either the gradiometer or the new instrument during the
remainder of the decade. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A letter was received in January 1966 from the Hon Secretary of the
Sussex Archaeological Trust with regard to the sale of 4 Parsonage Row in
Tarring. Originally, a letter from Mr HW Wilkins Estate Agents stating that the
owner of the property would be prepared to sell it to the Local Authority, was
sent to the Town Clerk of Worthing who subsequently sent it to the Sussex
Archaeological Trust. But the Council for the Trust had decided they were
unable to undertake the purchase; they did however decide to inform this
Society, the Worthing Corporation and the Royal Society of Arts (Confused? I
am!), advising that if one of the societies felt able to acquire and preserve the
building, the Trust would consider making a contribution towards the cost. The
Society however did not have funds available for such a purchase, but felt that
something should be done locally. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A letter was therefore sent to the Management Committee of Tarring
Cottages, but they could not afford to purchase the cottage either, due to the
responsibility they already had with numbers 6 to 8 and 10. The matter was
closed at a meeting in November 1966 when the Society decided not to proceed
any further. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A new archaeological magazine went into circulation for the first time
in March 1967: Current Archaeology. And in September 1970, the first ever
Sussex Archaeological Society Newsletter was published.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1969 the Council for British Archaeology produced a draft of the
Antiquities Bill. This Bill would ensure the reporting and protection of
archaeological finds. The Draft Bill had been discussed by various national
archaeological societies and the Museum Association. It was unanimous that the
Society support the Bill.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A ninth draft was in preparation in November 1969, due to the
objections centered on the alleged danger of discouraging amateur Archaeology.
The Legislation Sub-committee was due to hold a meeting and further discussions
were to be sought with the national societies. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">With decimalization approaching the Society had to discuss the amount
for subscriptions to be set at. After much discussion it was decided that as of
1<sup>st</sup> April 1971, the subscription would change from 7/6 to 40 New
Pence.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A letter from a member was received in the autumn of 1965 complaining
that the subjects of the lectures were ‘too wide a variety’, and suggesting
that more time be devoted top local archaeology. The lectures for 1964/65 were:
the Archaeology of Africa, the Palace of Nonsuch, Small Shops through the Ages,
a Tour of Malta and Italy, the Amateur in British Field Archaeology, and
Knossos. The programme of lectures the following year was: Excavations at
Chilgrove Roman Villa, Fishbourne Roman Villa, the Romans in Spain, the Seal
use of Ancient Crete, and the Lickfold Excavations. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A further letter was then received from another member who thought
there was an ‘over-emphasis’ on Roman subjects! The Society wrote this member a
letter stating they had been asked to include more local archaeology, but that
it so happened that current excavations were all Roman! The audience at the AGM
in March 1966 approved of the arrangement being continued. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Whilst on the subjects of letters, it was noted at a meeting in
February 1967 that Mrs Pull had written to the Society ‘thanking the Committee
for their kind remembrance of Mr Pull each year. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In the August 2001 issue of British Archaeology, there is a very
interesting article on Nonsuch Palace which had been excavated by Martin Biddle
in 1959. The same Mr Biddle of Exeter University gave a ‘fascinating account’
of his excavations in November 1964. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There was again a good selection of subjects for the lectures during
this decade, which included topics close to home and far away, and concerning
different periods in time, so I believe that the two members who wrote to the
Society must have been satisfied! One unusually titled lecture was ‘Jack and
Jill’. This was given in January 1972 by Dr Ratcliffe-Densham, not on the
subject of a nursery rhyme, but on the two skeletons, male and female,
discovered by him during excavations at Harrow Hill. </span></div>

SOCIETY 1942 TO 1952</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">As the War continued it was ‘pleasing to report the Society has come
through another year very well indeed’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Once again summer excursions were held as near to home as possible, to
ease the strain on transport. A trip to Horsham in 1942 took the members to the
Parish Church of St Mary, the Museum and several other sites of local interest.
On all the trips in 1942 the members were ‘fortunate in having the guidance of
leaders familiar with the locality visited’ and at the Horsham Museum, they
were given an interesting talk on the history of the Old Horsham Prison. The
trips were very well attended during the year, which was ‘largely due to the
expert knowledge and guidance of those local gentlemen who acted as leaders,
and the Society is very much indebted to them for their kindly co-operation’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In addition to the Society’s trips during the summer, the members were
invited to attend lectures arranged by the Worthing Branch of the Historical Association,
a ‘courtesy which has been much appreciated’, although neither the minutes or
Annual Report state what the subjects of the lectures were, only that two were
of particular interest and were given by a Sir Ronald (unable to read the
surname – the Honourable Secretary has beautiful handwriting, but it is rather
difficult to read, and the names were not mentioned in the Annual Report), and
a Professor Niven.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">1943 saw a variation of trips and lectures during the summer and for
the two remaining years of the War, there were no trips at all. In 1943 Miss
Margot Eates of the London Museum gave a lantern lecture entitled ‘The Present
Rediscovers the Past’. She had also arranged a photographic exhibition of the
same title at Worthing Museum. Miss Eates returned the following year to give
another lecture, choosing this time as the subject of her talk ‘Archaeology and
the Seeing Eye – the problem with Education’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Society was also honoured to be given an illustrated talk on Sutton
Hoo, by Mr CW Phillips, who had been involved with the Sutton Hoo ship and its’
treasures. ‘It was a great privilege to listen to so accomplished a lecturer
and the occasion will be remembered as a red-letter one by members who were
present’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Other interesting lectures during the War years were geared more
towards archaeology. For example, in 1944 Dr A Wilson, who had already
supervised several digs, gave a ‘very practical talk and demonstration on
elementary archaeological methods’ under the title ‘A to Z of a Dig’. He also held
an informal meeting in January 1945 especially for young people and those
‘anxious to learn more about practical archaeological work’. He explained
methods of fieldwork, surveying and recording to a small but enthusiastic
audience. Miss Eates was due to have given a lecture in 1943 on the ‘Place of
Archaeology in the Post-War World’ but was unfortunately ill and unable to be
present. And finally ‘Geology and Archaeology, with Special Reference to the
Worthing District’ was a very interesting and ‘valuable’ lecture given by Mr EC
Martin. ‘He impressed upon members the importance of watching all cuttings and
new sections and reporting immediately any new geological evidence which might
thus become revealed’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A lecture given in 1943 by the President was of particular reference to
the national situation. It was on the subject of the ‘Ancient Cities of North
Africa’, dealing ‘particularly with those districts through which the
victorious Eighth Army had passed so recently’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">No excavations organised by the Society took place during the War
years, although during 1942 several members helped with the work still in
progress on the Roman site at Poling. The Annual Report however does not state
who was running the dig. The only other mention with regards to practical work,
was that of small sherds of Roman pottery and bone having been found at
Waterworks Lane, Broadwater, which was reported by scholars from the Worthing
High School for Girls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Coming now to the end of anything relevant to the War period is that
during 1944 the Society reported the death of fourteen of its’ members. Four of
those had been original members and three of those had been Presidents. These
were Colonel EW Margesson (the Society’s first President); Mr AD Mackenzie
(1925/26); and Sir A Smith-Woodward (1930/31); the fourth was Mr T Sheppard who
had given the Inaugural Address at the founding of the Society. It was reported
that a ‘Testimonial was being raised by a number of Yorkshire Societies on
behalf of Mr Sheppard…who had recently retired on a comparatively small
pension, from the curatorship of the Hull Museum…Mr Sheppard was one of the
founders of this Society and had upon a number of occasions, lectured to our
members – always without fees’. It was unanimously agreed to give #10 to his Testimonial.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">After the successful meeting on practical archaeology for young people
in January 1945, the possibility of undertaking fieldwork during 1946 ‘largely
for the benefit of the young people’ had been discussed with Dr Wilson in April
1946. He turned out to be very enthusiastic about the project and decided that
if Highdown were free for the summer, he would arrange a fortnight’s dig on the
gateway to Highdown Camp. But the War was still causing problems. Owing to
‘rationing and other difficulties’, they would not have a camp, so the helpers
would have to stay in the neighbourhood. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">By May, the Society had still not heard from the National Trust and by
the end of July the Ministry had not yet derequisitioned the site. There was
also the worry that the Ministry may damage the site during the clearing
operation. The matter was therefore referred to the Chief Inspector of the
Ancient Monuments Department in the hope that they may take up the matter with
the Ministry. At this point the excavations were abandoned for the season.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A letter was subsequently received from the Chief Inspector in August
or September stating that Highdown ‘would not be ready for work this season’.
At a meeting in November 1946, a letter from the National Trust was read: the
Ministry of Works was ‘making arrangements for the reinstatement of this site
to be given priority and for the work to be done under archaeological
supervision’. Alderman Migeod was interested in ‘retaining for the benefit of
future generations, evidence of military occupation’ on sites such as Highdown
and Cissbury. A letter was then sent to the National Trust requesting the
‘works erected by the Forces should be allowed to stand’. Like today, it was
felt that military buildings, etc should be preserved: ‘The Society is of the
opinion that the military works are themselves of special interest as a
historical memorial of the War’. The letter also stated that their removal
might cause irreparable damage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">By April 1947 the ‘rehabilitation’ had commenced. Dr Wilson was
supervising the work and he subsequently suggested the following: that a map be
made by his students; as well as the gateway, a section of the main rampart
which would be exposed during the works be examined; to examine the damaged
southern end near the gateway; to examine the north rampart.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">July 1947 saw the clearing of Highdown completed. During this work, a
gun site cutting had revealed the building up of the rampart, Iron Age hearths
were found near the gateway and at least two Saxon cremation burials with
smashed urns and the skeleton of a six month old Saxon baby with a single bead.
A full report was due to appear in a forthcoming volume of the Sussex
Archaeological Collection.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Mr J Pull had completed excavations at Church Hill in Findon by June
1949 and was preparing to move to a site at Tolmere Farm which had been
surveyed by Dr EC Curwen in 1927. Mr Pull put a trench through a ditch, proving
it to be very shallow and found some flint implements and Iron Age pottery
sherds. He also proved the earthwork to be more apparent than actual. A barrow
further up the Hill was being opened (following the ‘strip’ method). By August
1949 the barrow revealed ‘no major internment, only fragments of cremated bone,
a good specimen of a ‘Cissbury Cell’, about one hundred flint implements and
fragments of pottery’. The barrow did not appear to have been disturbed. The
dig was completed by November and the ‘band of enthusiastic volunteer workers
were now anxious to open a flint mine’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">November 1950 saw Mr Pull and his band of enthusiastic workers back at
Church Hill, working on a ‘Stone Age flint mine’. By the time of a meeting on
22<sup>nd</sup> November, they had managed to dig down to eighteen feet and had
found a deer-horn pick, two knives, antlers and a good shoulder-blade shovel. A
second shaft was opened in the digging season of 1951 and further various tools
and implements were found.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The more practical work that was undertaken by the Society, resulted in
many more people becoming interested. Mr Pull therefore suggested that a series
of lectures be held, similar to those as Brighton Technical College, the object
being to ‘afford a certain amount of technical training’ to beginners, which
would then build up a team of workers ‘willing and ready to undertake excavation
work…without further training’. The subjects were to be: General introduction;
Recognition of archaeological sites to include air photography; Excavation of
site; Efficient recording and preparation of reports. The courses were arranged
and were ‘most successful’. Many young people attended and were keen to get
digging. This sounds familiar! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There was a problem in 1948 with unauthorised digging of archaeological
sites within the Society’s area. A report in the Worthing Review told of a
Romano British township that had been discovered at Mayfield Nurseries in
Salvington. Excavations were carried out by a Dr HBA Ratcliffe Densham and a
colleague Mr Frere,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>resulting in finding
sherds of pottery and other remains, which were then stored in Dr Densham’s house.
Neither man had reported the matter to the Society ‘in whose area the remains
had been found’. The Honourable Secretary then had an interview with Dr Densham
who admitted he had also been digging at Hardham.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Another site, this time a Bronze Age cornfield in Steyning was
discovered in 1949, but again it was not reported to the Society. A resolution
was then passed: ‘The Committee of the Worthing Archaeological Society wishes
to draw the attention of the Research Committee to the problems arising about control
of excavations and disposal of finds in the various areas of Sussex’. But in
August 1951, Mr Pull revisited a site at Cock Hill, an escarpment of the Downs
between Black Patch and Harrow Hill, which he had previously noted as a
possible excavation site. However on his arrival at Cock Hill, whom should he
find but Dr Densham already digging there and he had made several finds of
pottery and axes, etc. Dr Densham subsequently reported his finds to the Sussex
Archaeological Research Committee, but again he did not report to the Society,
and neither did the Research Committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Research Committee regretted that Dr Densham had never reported his
archaeological activities to the Society so that ‘some official record of them
might be made’. Mr Pull undertook to see Dr Densham and to ‘suggest to him the
desirability of him joining this Society, but he would have to report any
further archaeological activities to the Society’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It would appear that the Dr Densham Problem was solved by November 1951
when Mr Pull confirmed he had spoken with Dr Densham who was now ‘desirous of
becoming a member of the Society’. Mr Pull promised Dr Densham that once
excavations at Church Hill had finished, he and his workers would help Dr
Densham with his excavations at Cock Hill, especially as he regarded the site
as very important. The Society therefore agreed not to take any further action
against Dr Densham.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">With the War over, summer outings resumed in 1946. There were the usual
visits to reasonably local churches, but in 1948 the members were lucky enough
to visit the excavations at the flint mine<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>on Church Hill, under the guidance of Mr Pull. Unfortunately the Annual
Report does not mention whether the members actually went into the mine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A few trips went further afield; in 1949 the Society went to Guildford,
visiting the Museum and Castle, the seventeenth century Hospital of Blessed
Trinity and the Ancient Royal Grammar School and in 1950 they went to Knole
House in Sevenoaks. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">There was of course, a good selection of lectures during the winter
months, but one can not normally judge what a lecture will be like by the title
alone. Therefore I am sure that ‘A Search for Oil in Sussex’ by a vicar was
fascinating, as was ‘the Painted Chamber of Robert de Thorpe’ (it is a unique
medieval apartment near Peterborough).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The lecture in October 1947 was entitled ‘the Beginnings of History’
and uniquely was held in the Court Room of the Town Hall. This was because the
lecture was ‘an innovation in the form of a sound film’. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">At previous Annual Suppers either a talk was given, or members could
bring items of interest to be discussed. In 1947 however, the Society decided
to hold a Quiz, which seems like fun. Perhaps we could hold quizzes now, maybe
charging an entrance fee to raise funds for the Society. They held further
quizzes in 1948 and 1949. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Annual Report for 1943 told ‘with much gratification’ of the fact
that Councillor ER Willoughby, who joined the Society in 1934 and was a
committee member, was chosen to ‘fill the Mayoralty of this town’, and in 1950
Mr Migeod’s booklet on the history of Cissbury had gone to press. But it was
not only members who were doing well for themselves. In November 1949 it was
reported that ‘the Council of Archaeology now recognised the Worthing
Archaeological Society to be of National Standing and was thus entitled to send
two members to the main Council’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A Late Bronze Age hoard was discovered in 1946 on agricultural land in
Cokeham. It consisted of fifteen axes and portions of a very damaged and
fragmented metal cauldron, which was submitted to the British Museum for advice
as to the possibility of restoration. However it’s condition was too
‘imperfect’ for satisfactory restoration, although the rim and handles were
cleaned.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Society has always been keen on the preservation of old buildings
in Worthing. The next property in line for demolition in 1948 was Beach House.
The Society believed it should be ‘retained and repaired and put into useful
service’, perhaps for educational bodies. The President was to attend the
inquiry in November.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Membership had increased considerably by 1951 (430 members) and the
question was raised as to whether membership numbers should be limited, ‘in
view of the increasing size of the attendance both at the summer outings and
the winter lectures’. The Committee however, were not in favour, but agreed
that the matter should be placed on the agenda to be discussed at the Committee
meeting prior to the next Annual General Meeting. At this meeting after a lengthy

1922 (2/2/22!), and was reported in the Worthing Gazette. It detailed the
‘Lantern Lecture on 3000 years of Hidden Treasure’ by Mr T Sheppard, down to
the laughter and applauding of the audience. It is interesting to note that an
entrance fee of 1/- and 6d. Was charged (the subscription fee was then 2s.6d.),

was to Shoreham ‘for the purpose of visiting the churches and places of
interest in the old town’. The Reverend G Holmes Gore received the members at
St Mary’s Church, but ‘it was regretted that the visitors, owing to the

worldwide interest upon Sussex. In January 1922, Mr Llewellyn Thomas gave a
lecture on the infamous skull with the aid of a plaster cast (Worthing Gazette
and Herald). The evidence, he explained, ‘bore ample evidence that these
fragments represented the most primitive truly human skull yet discovered’.
Miss Marion Frost (the initiator of the Society) had been present when Sir
Arthur Keith discussed the skull and Dr Smith Woodward ‘told of some of the
differences of opinion among the experts, one part holding that it was that of
an ape and the other that it was human’.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jumping forward a few years to
October 1925, Sir Arthur Smith Woodward was persuaded to hold a ‘lantern
lecture’ on ‘the Fossil Man of Piltdown’. This ‘highly scientific lecture
couched in the simplest language was well attended by a large and appreciative
audience’ (Worthing Gazette 21/10/25).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Rather amusingly, in October 1926 (Sussex Daily News), the Society’s
latest lecture was on ‘Forged Antiques – Entertaining Lecture on the Fakers
Art’, given by Mr Thomas Sheppard. He ‘looked forward with some apprehension to
the discoveries that scientists were continually making, as they always crested
a disconcerting attitude of mind towards the future…and science had done a very
great deal in the past to settle very great and important problems…He was
characteristically racy and entertaining and wanted to impress upon them that
things were not always what they seemed’. How ironic!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">We hear today that coastal erosion is a problem, but it was also a
problem in the 1920’s. A lecture in October 1922 told that Sussex was ‘slowly
but surely being washed away’ (Worthing Herald 28/10/22). Miss Gerald also
mentioned erosion during a lecture on Sussex Maps in December 1922: ‘three
centuries earlier, there was a piece of common land over 50 acres stretching
between the Marine Hotel and the high water mark, although even then, this
land, while high and dry at low tide, was almost awash daily’ (Worthing Gazette
20/12/22). The articles describing this lecture are very interesting.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Today the Society is moving forward, having recently introduced the
Field Unit, which is dealing with the practical side of archaeology. I have
only been a member for three years and I do not know when the Society withdrew
from practical work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1922, excavations were carried out at Cissbury, but work was to be
carried out by ‘experts’ only (Worthing Gazette 31/5/22) rather than an
enthusiast ‘causing untold damage’ and in 1923 members partook of a Flint Hunt
at Black Patch along with the Brighton and Hove <span style="text-transform: uppercase;">a</span>rchaeological Club.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also during 1923, a kitchen
midden was excavated at Muir House in Broadwater (opposite St Mary’s Church,
now under the shopping precinct). A dense bed of shells was uncovered, at it’s
widest it was two feet deep. It included oyster, cockles, whelks, periwinkles
and mussels. The oyster shells contained a ‘V’ shaped notch, characteristic of
old methods of opening the shell. It was believed that although the Romans
‘notched’ the shell in the same way, similar features on shells excavated in
Hull, were found in association with tobacco pipes and other 17<sup>th</sup>
century material. The deposit was 12 feet by 20 feet and it was estimated that
there were at least 300 bushels of shells.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">During the same year, an Earthworks Sub-committee was set up, a report
written up on the excavation at Black Patch (in Sussex Archaeological
Collections volume LXV) and a letter sent to the Duke of Norfolk requesting
permission to excavate on Harrow Hill. As a note to all those currently taking
part in the practical work, in 1923 labour was hired at £3.5.0 to help with the
excavation! Permission to excavate at Harrow Hill was granted on 10 February
1924.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Earthworks Sub-committee drew up a list of items to be purchased
for the dig: tool hut fitted with shelves, 10 inch pulley, 18 ft ladder, 6 (30
ft) poles, tripod, 18 planks, tarpaulin, wheel barrow, 2 baskets, 50 ft rope,
hooks, bucket, dusters, broom, pointed shovels. This is slightly different to
the equipment we have today. It was then requested in November 1925 that the
above items be sold, with the exception of the shed!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Society also took an interest in conservation and in August 1923,
the following letter was sent to ‘the Times’: ‘The members of Worthing
Archaeological Society have learned with grave concern the possibility of
further damage occurring to the area immediately surrounding Stonehenge, and beg
to urge the authorities concerned to do their utmost to preserve one of the
most valuable archaeological sites this country possesses’.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Mayor’s Special Appeal for funds on behalf of the preservation of
Cissbury was successful and the ‘full sum required was forthcoming’. In 1925,
the acquisition was complete and ‘that most important archaeological site is
now the property of the Nation.’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">A Scientific Sub-committee was set up in 1927 to act as a Regional
Survey, with the object of recording ‘in a systematic manner, information
concerning such objects as Roman Remains, windmills, place names, photographs
of disappearing Worthing, etc’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Miss M Frost asked members for photographs of old buildings of
Worthing, as she believed that ‘the custody and management of photographic
record collections would ultimately rank among the most valuable of many
services which their public institutions and clubs could render to the nation’
(Sussex Daily News 12/1/27). Following these appeal two collections from Messrs
Laver and Francis were received. Where are they now?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The Society was also concerned for the preservation of the South Downs.
In March 1926, a resolution was proposed that the Mayor be requested to
‘communicate with other Mayors of boroughs bordering on the South Downs, with
reference to convening a meeting to discuss the best means of preserving the
outlines of the Downs for future generations’.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Although Cissbury was now safe, it was not being kept in good
condition, there was a lot of ‘rubbish scattered around’, therefore the Society
requested the Town Council to provide wire baskets and a man to empty them
after every public holiday and at suitable intervals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">As a footnote to this section, a letter was sent by Sussex
Archaeological Society to the editor of the Worthing Herald (19/5/23)
requesting volunteers join them in marking any features (eg, camps, moats,
mounds etc) which were not shown on maps of the day.</span></div>

The Society requested quotes for outings in May 1923. The Will o Wisp could not
take so many people and the Silver Queen charged for the whole coach even if it
was not filled. Looking through the Minutes, Southdown was mentioned a lot
after that!</span></div>

extended not only to Society members, but also to members of the Sussex
Archaeological Society, the Portsmouth Innominate Club, the Prehistoric Society
of East Anglia, the Brighton and Hove Archaeological Club and the Littlehampton
Nature and Archaeological Circle, and over one hundred people from these
societies attended.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The General Strike in 1926 caused some difficulties with the summer
outings; one was postponed and two were cancelled. But one outing that went
ahead was to the Old Quaker Meeting House in Thakeham known as the Blue Idol. I
grew up in West Chiltington, which is close to Thakeham, and I have never heard
of it. It was a half-timbered 15<sup>th</sup> century building. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Jumping back to 1922, the Society paid a visit to Sompting Church,
which was listed as among the twenty buildings in the country to date prior to
1000AD (Worthing Gazette 23/8/22). Also in 1922, the Curator of Brighton
Museum, Dr E Curwen led a trip to the earthworks above Storrington, where he
‘traced the valley entrenchment and pointed to signs of a Leper Settlement’
(Worthing Gazette 6/9/22). </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I now live in Tarring and I also did not know that the stem and bowl of
Tarring Church font was then in the garden of a Melbourne clergyman! How did it
end up there? The Rev Charles Lee had requested it’s return, but at that time
had heard nothing (Worthing Gazette 25/7/23). Has it been returned?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In 1923, Mr Arthur Beckett gave a lecture on Sussex Folklore. ‘He took
his hearers with him for an imaginary walk through the romantic district of the
Downs from East Sussex westwards – a delightful experience, with such a guide
as Mr Beckett, who enlivened the excursion with humour, legend, verse and song’
(Worthing Herald 3/11/23). He spoke of a cannonball lodged in the face of Beachy
Head (a relic of a sea battle in 1690), old Southdown shepherds, of smugglers
and how the Long Man of Wilmington came to be, but the most strange story was
that of a gravestone in Storrington Churchyard with the following epitaph:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">He then talked about Chanctonbury Ring and concluded on a poetic note –
‘there are fairies on the Downs – people who had not seen them lacked vision or
sympathy, or both’. He then recited ‘some delightful verses relating to his own
experiences of them.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Mr A Hadrian Allcroft gave a lecture on Stonehenge and Tradition
(Worthing Gazette 29/10/24). He said ‘more common sense was needed’ and went on
to scoff at the ‘sun-worship theory and endeavouring to prove from tradition
that Stonehenge was set up to commemorate the death in battle of a number of
British nobles'. He advanced the theory (Worthing Herald 1/11/24) that it was
of ‘Saxon date and that the condition of the stones did not support the great
antiquity claimed for it…that it was originally a moot or meeting place and
became a memorial of British nobles slain there’. Mr Millbank Smith, a previous
President of the Society was ‘delighted to have some of his doubts settled’.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The lecture in February 1929 strayed a long way from archaeology. Sir
Richard Gregory’s address was entitled the Sun and Stars! Remarking that the
subject though ‘not connected to archaeology, it was a very old one, and might
be of interest to them’ (Worthing Herald 23/2/29).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In November 1929 the members were entertained by the medieval myth of
the Barnacle Goose! The lecture was entitled ‘Barnacles’. To cut a long story
short, a barnacle turned into a goose and became the subject of religious
discussion from the 13<sup>th</sup> century onwards (Worthing Gazette
20/11/29). The point being discussed was ‘whether the bird, being born of fish,
might be eaten during Lent’. Goose would be refreshing after eating so much
fish. If you want to know the whole story, you will have to read the article!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Dr Mortimer Wheeler paid a tribute during his lecture in 1931 to ‘the

Letter from a Canadian conscript. <img src="http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/images/37-201212261553.jpg" /><br />
Oct 27th , 1917<br />
Dear Folks at Home:-<br />
Well, <a href="http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=105401" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Steele </span></a>and I have arrived safely in our new place of abode for
a few weeks and as usual we are writing letters after coming in from Church
Parade.<br />
We came down on Friday along with about 25 others
from Bramshott. On our way down we had a stop of 45 minutes at Brighton
which is the most famous summer resort in England. They allowed us to go
out and see the sights for that short time although of course we couldn’t see
much in that time. There is no bathing at this time of year of course but
still it seemed to be a very busy place and it would be counted a good sized city
in Canada. I don’t believe I ever saw so many houses bunched so close
together. English places are all like that and so do not cover as much
ground as Canadian towns and cities. <br />
They just call Brighton a town here because to be a
city in England the place must have a cathedral and Brighton doesn’t boast such
a thing. Brighton is only a short distance from Seaford so I suppose we
will be able to pay it a visit while staying here.<br />
Seaford of course is an English seaport town right
on the English Channel. It is about as big as Guelph I think. Harry
and I were down at the beach yesterday to see the sights but there isn’t much
doing there now. There is a very long cement promenade and also a roller
skating rink. I tried to persuade Harry to have try at roller skating but
he wouldn’t go on. However I intend to have a skate at some future time.<br />
There are some very high chalk cliffs down on the
shore which look grand especially when the sun is shining on them.<br />
We see a very large number of aircraft around here
– seaplanes, biplanes, observation balloons and what they call Fairy Queens
which is an airship which looks just like a huge sausage up in the air.
It is very interesting to watch these aeroplanes manoeuvring about .<br />
Yesterday afternoon we also went to the Machine Gun
Depot which is stationed here and where we found quite a number of fellows who
used to be in the 153rd but who have transferred to this unit since coming to
England. <br />
<a href="http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=109759" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Rachar </span></a>and Sedare are about the only Mt. Forest boys in
it. Rather says he likes the work O.K. as it is much more interesting
than infantry drill. <a href="http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=113496" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Alex Keir</span></a> was also there along with most of the boys who used
to belong to the machine gun section of the 153rd . <br />
The day I left Bramshott for Seaford, <a href="http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=105898" target="_blank"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Bill Kerr</span></a> also left Seaford but in a different direction via
for Scotland. I would likely have gone too if it hadn’t been for this
course. However will likely get a pass after we finish here which will be
in six or seven days. I am going to write to Mrs Wright’s friend soon and
I will probably visit her on my next trip to Scotland. <br />
By this time you will no doubt have got my cable
and have sent the money over. I would not probably need it if I took my
pass for London or some nearby place but I think it is worth the extra money to
go to Scotland as you certainly have a much better time.<br />
This course promises to be very interesting and I
am going to work hard to get the most I can out of it. We start in on the
real work tomorrow.<br />
I heard that a Canadian mail was in but we will not
likely get any for about a week as it will have to be forwarded from
Bramshott. As I said before address my mail to the same old address to
save confusion.<br />
Lovingly<br />
John<br />

Mick Aston is no longer with us, he inspired many, including myself, to me he was the face of Time Team, and to be honest he really inspired me to go further in my studies of Archaeology, and especially the history of Monastery's.<br />
He will be sadly missed, and really so young, rest know. .<br />

is stranger than fiction and none more so than in the tale of Alexander
Selkirk: the real-life Robinson Crusoe. <br /><br />Born in 1676, the
seventh son of a cobbler, Alexander Selkirk grew up in Lower Largo,
Fife. At the age of 19 he found himself in trouble with the Kirk Session
after his brother’s trick of making him drink sea water resulted in a
family fight. Before his case was heard, Selkirk fled to sea hoping to
make his fortune through privateering (effectively legalized piracy on
the King’s enemies) against Spanish vessels off the coast of South
America. <br />Within a few years his skill at navigation led to his
appointment as Sailing Master on the ‘Cinque Ports’, a sixteen gun,
ninety ton privateer. The expedition was a disaster. The captain of the
ship was a tyrant and after a few sea battles with the Spanish, Selkirk
feared the ship would sink. So, in an attempt to save his own life he
demanded to be put ashore on the next island they encountered. In
September 1704, Selkirk was castaway on the uninhabited island of Más a
Tierra (today known as Robinson Crusoe Island), over 400 miles off the
West Coast of Chile. He took with him a little clothing, bedding, a
musket and powder, some tools, a Bible and tobacco. <br /><br />At first
Selkirk simply read his Bible awaiting rescue, but it soon became
apparent that the rescue wasn’t imminent. He resigned himself to a long
stay and began to make island life habitable with only rats, goats and
cats for company in his lonely vigil. <br /><br />After several years of
isolation, two ships drew into the island’s bay. Selkirk rushed to the
shore, realizing a little late that they were Spanish. Their landing
party fired, forcing him to flee for his life although he managed to
evade capture and the Spaniards eventually departed.<br /><br />Finally On
1st of February 1709, two British privateers dropped anchor offshore.
Alexander lit his signal fire to alert the ships, who dispatched a
rather astonished landing party to find a ‘Wildman’ dressed in goat
skins. Remarkably the privateers’ pilot was William Dampier, who had led
the Selkirk’s original expedition and was able to vouch for the
‘Wildman’. <br /><br /><br />Selkirk had spent four years and four months of
isolation on the island, yet seemed stable when he was found. The
experience had, in fact, saved his life. From William Dampier he learnt
that he had been right to leave the ‘Cinque Ports’, which had sunk off
the coast of Peru with all of its crew drowned except the captain and
another seven men, who had survived only to be captured and left to rot
in a Peruvian jail. <br />Selkirk re-embarked on his career as a privateer
and within a year he was master of the ship that rescued him. In 1712
he returned to Scotland £800 richer, and surprised his family as they
worshipped at the Kirk in Largo. They had long given him up for dead and
were astonished that he was alive, let alone alive in his fine, gold
and lace clothes. In 1713 he published an account of his adventures
which were fictionalized six years later by Daniel Defoe in his now
famous novel: ‘Robinson Crusoe’. <br /><br /><br /><br />Selkirk, however, could
never really readjust to life on the land, and, in 1720, a year after
he was immortalized by Defoe, he joined the Royal Navy only to die of
fever off the coast of Africa.

St Botolphs Church in the Adur Valley is now in the hands of the Church Conservation Trust, the church will be closed later in the year for major restoration work, so now would be a good time to visit this ancient church.<br />Adjacent to the church on the site of the now modern burial ground ,where once stood the medieval village of Botolphs,the site is still littered with medieval pottery etc.Opposite the church in the fields you can still see the remains of the medieval salt industry,salt mounds are still visible. At a later date i will be undertaking tours of the church and surroundings area associated with the village and church.<br />Meanwhile do visit this summer, it is open every day from early till late.<br />

<br />
A visit to the cellars has unearthed some early Medieval building work, dated to circa 1200s.Vaulting , medieval floor tiles, possible very early chapel.<br />
<br />
Slindon was a important deer park at this time, and on the list of, circa 12 Summer residency's of the Archbishops of Canterbury. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
It was an occasional residence of Stephen Langton, who died
here in 1228, and Archbishop John Pecham spent much time here, holding
ordinations in the chapel in 1288 and 1291.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
Archbishop Chicheley confirmed the election of
Thomas Ludlowe as Abbot of Battle in 1421 in the chapel. </div>
<br />
Now this shows us this was a high statues building, as we can see from the remains.<br />
Lots more to show, this just a taster. <span style="color: blue;"> Double click photos to enlarge.</span><br />

graduated from that university, he served there for 25 years and established a
reputation as a great preacher and a major scholar and theologian. Pope
Innocent III then summoned him to Rome
and in 1206 created him cardinal-priest of St. Chrysogonus. Immediately
afterward Langton was drawn into the vortex of English politics.<br />
After the death of Hubert Walter (1205), a dispute immediately arose as to
who should be the new archbishop of Canterbury; but after two years of
political turmoil involving king and clergy, the Pope suggested that the
suffragans of Canterbury elect Langton, who was consecrated at Viterbo on June
17, 1207. King John, however, refused to allow the new archbishop access to his
province, seized the revenues of Canterbury, and
banished the monks; Innocent replied by laying England under an interdict (March
1208). Langton crossed to Dover (October 1209) in an attempt to achieve
negotiation with the king, but John would go no nearer than Chilham, Kent, and
after a week the archbishop left the country, and John’s excommunication was
published (November 1209).<br />
By 1212 John was seriously planning the recovery of the French territories
lost to Philip II in 1204. The need to embark on this enterprise unhampered by
ecclesiastical censure, Innocent’s threat of deposing him, and the news that
Philip was planning (April 1213) an invasion of England finally caused John to
submit. He at once agreed to receive the archbishop, and Langton, who had been
residing mainly at the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny, crossed to England (July
1213) and absolved the king.<br />
Langton was not only associated with the baronial opposition against King
John; he advised and supported it, suggesting that the barons take their stand
on the coronation oath and the charter of Henry I. Later he withdrew,
disapproving violent means, and at Runnymede
(June 1215) appeared as one of the king’s commissioners. He therefore probably
influenced such “non baronial” clauses of Magna Carta as the one confirming
ecclesiastical liberties. During 1218–28 he supported Henry III’s party, being
responsible for the 1225 reissue of Magna Carta, and that year convened a clerics’
council to determine a grant to the king. He was responsible for the recall of
the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" id="ref935250" name="ref935250"></a><a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/334913/legate"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">papal legate</span></a>,
and during his life no other one resided in England,
thus strengthening the archbishop of Canterbury’s
claim to be <i>legatus natus</i> (a legate in his own right). In 1222 he also
promulgated some important constitutions.<br />

John Peckham, or Peckham, the English philosopher and
theologian, and defender of Augustinian doctrines, was born in Patcham, near Brighton, Sussex.
Educated at the monastery at Lewes, he continued his studies at Oxford and Paris, and
sometime during the 1250s he joined the Franciscan friars at Oxford. Subsequently he became a master of
theology in Paris in 1269 and returned to Oxford in 1272. Peckham
was provincial of the English Franciscans from 1275 to 1277 and then lectured
at the papal court for two years. In 1279 he was appointed archbishop of Canterbury and held this
office until his death.</div>

<br />
<br />
First World War<br />
<br />
During the First World War, Slindon House was used as an auxiliary hospital run by Lady Beaumont, the sister of Wooton Issacson.<br />
<br />
A prisoner-of-war camp, guarded by Canadian troops, was established between the bottom of Nore Hill and West Gumber Gate (SU 9623 1175). The prisoners were used to clear trees from the area and the remains of the incinerator that served the camp is still visible.<br />
<br />
Second World War<br />
<br />
During the Second World War the house was again utilised as a hospital before being taken over for used by the army stationing troops who were later to take part in the Dieppe raid.<br />
<br />
Tree felling also took place on quite a large scale with large beech trees being taken from Nore Wood from an area around the back of the folly: Previously unfarmed land was reclaimed and brought back into production this consisted principally of the area of cleared land next to where the First World War prisoner-of-war camp had been located, which had become covered in gorse and scrub. Even today these fields are still referred to as War Ag 1-4.<br />
<br />
Apart from the troops billeted in Slindon House just before the Dieppe raid there were no other military camps on the estate for the duration of the war except for the build up to D-Day, where some were temporarily camped in the Park.<br />
<br />
There was however, a dummy airfield constructed on the Gumber as a decoy from RAF Tangmere, which was sited nearby. The raid shelters built at the same time as the dummy airfield are still in existence.<br />
<br />
List of Sites<br />
<br />
Slindon Estate Base Camp<br />
<br />
One of the wooden sheds is supposed to have been part of the First World War PoW camp and was purchased in an auction after 1918. Need to research and understand which building is being referred to and then survey in detail.<br />
<br />
Also, located in the stable yard is a iron trolley, which is supposed to have formed part of the light railway installed on the estate to transport wood. Again this needs to be found, given a clean up, photographed and recorded.<br />
<br />
Air Raid Shelter, Slindon Park<br />
<br />
Located near the Ice House in Slindon Park was an Air Raid shelter. Need to visit to see if building is still in-situ and record accordingly. An AA battery may also have been located in this vicinity.<br />
<br />
POW Camp, Nore Hill<br />
<br />
Only known remain is the incinerator. This has been photographed, but needs revisiting and recording properly. Also, need to see what other evidence still remains on the ground for the PoW Camp i.e. concrete footings for buildings.<br />
<br />
Airship Mooring Site, Northwood Cottages<br />
<br />
Although not mentioned in the Whitfield report, there is photographic evidence of a First World War airship-mooring site somewhere close to the Northwood Cottages.<br />
<br />
The areas to be investigated are the woods to the South and West of the cottages. The photos show a series of huts, so any remaining evidence will either be the concrete moorings for the airships (or observation balloons) or concrete foundations for the huts (the staff were housed under canvas).<br />
<br />
