More about this scene

Byworth is a very pretty village with a single winding street a mile east of Petworth; it is set on hilly ground above a small stream flowing in a steep valley towards the Rother. The best old houses in the village are these two. Both are 15th-century timber-framed houses built for prosperous farmers. The left-hand one is an altered Wealden house with an added central section of jettying, while that on the right had a continuous jetty from the start. In Victorian times the houses were each subdivided into labourers' cottages for the Leconfield Estate. Inland West Sussex From Bramber to Boxgrove
