More about this scene

St Mary's Church 1907 Moving north-east to the western end of the Sussex Weald, we reach the town of Horsham, which expanded greatly after the railway arrived in 1848. Most of this enlargement of the original medieval and Georgian town took place to the north and north-east. To the south, Denne Park prevented expansion across the River Arun. This view is taken from the meadows south of the river looking towards St Mary's Church, which with its broach spire looks remarkably villagey for a major town church. Teulon's 1865 aisle gables can just be seen. To the right is the Victorian primary school.

This is my Grandfather Joseph Smith and my two Great Aunts, Kathleen and Josephine. He was about 12 in this picture. They lived yards from where this was taken in the lodge at Arundel Park gates. My great Grandfather, William, was a groom to the then Duke of Norfolk (Henry) and Great Granmother, Kate, was a domestic. I have spent many happy times in Arundel and continue to visit.
