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.

The drinking fountain to the right-hand side was erected in 1898 to mark the 60th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Victoria. It became a traffic hazard and was placed into storage for many years before being re-erected then moved again. See the full story and a 2006 photograph of the fountain at http://www.hiddenhorsham.co.uk/36/36.htm
