More about this scene
Houghton is a hamlet with a long stone bridge across the tidal River Arun. In 1292 the Earl of Arundel submitted to the Bishop of Chichester, who had excommunicated him for walking his dog in the bishop's forest. The inn is a 13th-century timber-framed brick and flint building. King Charles II is said to have taken refreshments here in 1651 while fleeing from the Battle of Worcester. A Watney's Red Barrel illuminated sign (a much-advertised keg beer of the time) hangs below the main sign.
