Sussex (Pevsner Buildings of England S.) Sussex turns away from nearby London, towards the sea and the massive ridge of the South Downs. Its coastal resorts are particularly distinguished, nowhere more so than at Brighton where Nash's orientalising Pavilion sets the tone. Elsewhere castles and fortified town walls along the coast attest to Sussex's military past; Chichester cathedral and Battle Abbey to its medieval endowments. In East Sussex, twelfth-century churches are important survivals in villages also rich in the timber-framed houses for which Sussex is famous. On a grander scale, there are atmospheric country houses such as Petworth House and Uppark. The twentieth century makes its mark in the sober and dignified Festival Theatre at Chichester, the exhilarating De la Warr Pavilion at Bexhill, and the uncompromising forms of the University of Sussex campus.

Old Sussex Inns In Old Sussex Inns Donald Stuart explores the historic, interesting, quirky and haunted pubs of East and West Sussex, describing more than 270 establishments in over 170 villages and towns across the county. Illustrated with a fine collection of the author's own photographs, the book is an essential read for anyone interested in what the history of inns, taverns and pubs can reveal about the local area. The inns of Sussex are rich in stories, and the origins of the names of the pubs themselves are often fascinating. Here too are tales of smugglers and sea-farers, and of ghosts that still haunt their drinking dens of old. From busy coaching houses to sleepy village taverns, Donald Stuart uncovers a wealth of historic detail, from architectural features to legends and myths. The result is a book that is sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers, from those with an interest in local history to pub enthusiasts and those seeking an atmospheric place to enjoy a decent pint.

Where to Watch Birds in Kent, Surrey and Sussex (Where to Watch Birds S.) The southeastern corner of England is a densely populated region but one which holds many rich bird habitats. For example, on the south coast of East Sussex and Kent there are undisturbed shingle beaches supporting nationally important tern colonies, and inland there are Surrey heaths, important for many nationally scarce species like Dartford Warbler and Woodlark. In north Kent there is a network of important sites along the Swale estuary which are of great importance for passage and wintering waders and wildfowl. These counties also often attract large numbers of passage migrants, including vagrant rarities from the continent. This manual explores the best birding sites in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Several new sites have been added to this revised and updated fourth edition. Each site is described in terms of habitat, species, access and timing, and the volume is illustrated throughout with line drawings and maps of each site. The manual seeks to enable birders to plan productive trips at any time of the year. Tour Sussex.

Charleston: A Bloomsbury House and Gardens Set in the heart of the Sussex Downs, Charleston Farmhouse is the most important remaining example of Bloomsbury decorative style, created by the painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Quentin Bell, the younger son of Clive and Vanessa Bell, and his daughter Virghinia Nicholson, tell the story of this unique house, linking it with some of the leading cultural figures who were invited there, including Vanessa's sister Virginia Woolf, the writer Lytton Strachey, the economist Maynard Keynes and the art critic Roger Fry. The house and garden are portrayed through Alen MacWeeney's atmostpheric photographs, while pictures from Vanessa's family album convey the flavour of the household in its heyday.

Haunted Hastings Haunted Hastings contains a chilling range of ghostly phenomena, from the haunted staircase at Hastings library in Claremont and the singing spectre of Hastings College, to the mysterious witches' footsteps in the Stag Inn and the phantom coach and horses that gallops up the High Street on a dark win.

The Garden of England: The Counties of Kent, Surrey and Sussex (Country S.) Kent is traditionally known as the Garden Of England, but the term could just as easily apply to Sussex and Surrey. In addition to commonly thought of hopgardens, orchards and vineyards the region boasts some of the country's greatest gardens, such as Sissinghurst, Nymans, Sheffield Park and Wisley. Also found here, within easy reach of London and the coast, are romantic ruins like Bodiam and Scotney, great cathedral cities like Canterbury and Chichester, magnificent castles like Hever, Leeds and Arundel, princely residences like the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and historic houses like Chartwell and Bateman's, all set in England's most bountiful countryside.
