More about this scene
Falkes de Breaute and William de Cantilupe built castles here. The latter was among those extorting Magna Carta from the King. The Brays came and gave the place its name in 1490. Sir Reginald became Treasurer of England, being involved in building Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey. Once entirely dependent on farming , its downland location makes it an attractive settlement for more affluent newcomers, and the one-time council houses display the spirit of Thatcher-age sell-offs.
