I have come across a lovely drawing of St Mary's Church by H J Woods, I also have lots of other original pictures by this artist and wondered if he was well know in Pulborough?

I was born in Canada, but grew up in Pulborough as did my mother and uncle, Maureen and Frank Darby.
When I knew we were returning to Canada, a place I didn't remember, it broke my heart, and I vowed never to forget the people and sights of Pulborough.
My Grandparents are buried in the cemetery at St Mary's, and I... [more]

West Sussex memories
Hardham was a place to bicycle to from Pulborough, and visit St. Botolph's Church. One of the many very very old churches in West Sussex. The drawings on the walls go back hundreds of years depicting the tortures of the early Christians, and the church preserves them with the lighting being restricted. I got locked in this church once - scary... [more]

Today, whilst visiting my mother who lives in the village I decided to park my car and walk through the village, a trip down memory lane. I was disappointed to see that many familar places no longer looked the same, there was a distinct lack of love and care to a number of places. The most prominent change was walking down... [more]

Smock Alley and the Five Bells public house
I used to visit my aunt and uncle in the middle to late fifties. They used to live at the bottom of Smock Alley in a large bungalow. I remember walking up to the post office and cross roads. Smock Alley was just like a cart track. When I last went back a few years ago, to my amazement it was... [more]

My memory of West Chiltington as a child is of a sleepy little village where everyone knew each other. As a child I could wander with friends and not be afraid as all the village people knew everyone else. A pleasant stroll up Church Hill on a summers evening is one memory that springs to mind with Mr Gumbrell who lived... [more]

In 1956 we lived in Fittleworth (Orchard House) while I attended Midhurst Grammar School. I could listen to the church clock chime the hours if I woke up at night.
I would like to hear from anyone who was there then.

My husband inherited a watercolour of a barn entitled 'Fittleworth 1882' by the artist named above - it could read Hry N Hussey for Henry - but not clear. We wondered whether anyone could shed any light

Extracts From Pulborough & West Sussex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Pulborough, inspired by Frith photos.
The Rother and Arun bridges are a remarkable survival and justly renowned: mostly medieval, some have until recently had to survive increasingly heavy traffic. Both Pulborough's and Stopham's medieval bridges are now fortunately by-passed and left as footbridges.

Along the southern boundary of Pulborough lies the River Arun, popular with Edwardian fishermen and boating enthusiasts. The river has always been a key focal point here, and is noted for its Pulborough eel. The Roman Stane Street crossed the Arun at this point and was strongly defended during the Occupation.

In common with all lychgates, Pulborough's ivy-covered, 14th-century churchyard gateway was originally built to provide shelter and a resting place for coffins prior to the funeral service. The church is mainly Perpendicular in style, and includes a sizeable 12th-century font. The war memorial stands proudly to the left of the lychgate.
