More about this scene

The name of this Sussex town was mentioned in a Saxon charter, though for some reason it is not referred to in the Domesday Book. Following the Norman Conquest, it was given to William de Braose, and in 1617 it became a corporate borough with a common seal and elected bailiffs.

This view has changed little over the intervening years. The church, St Mary's, at the foot of the Causeway is Horsham's only grade I listed building. In the background there was a multistorey office block which has now been removed to be replaced with modern but fitting office blocks occupied by Royal & Sun Alliance.
