Sussex: West by Elizabeth Williamson (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Sussex: West by Elizabeth Williamson, Tim Hudson, Jeremy Musson, Ian Nairn This volume covers some of the finest landscape and architecture in southern England, much of it set within the South Downs National Park. The countys small towns and villages feature a pleasing mix of stone, timber, and brick houses of every period. Among numerous atmospheric country houses are the Tudor ruins of Cowdray, the Elizabethan mansion at Parham, and the French-inspired Petworth in its great park, famously captured in Turners paintings. On the grandest scale is the mighty Arundel Castle, seat of the Duke of Norfolk, while Chichester, the only city in West Sussex, boasts one of the countrys most important 12th-century cathedrals. Among many major ecclesiastical and educational establishments built in the 19th century, none is more impressive than Lancing College set high above the coast. New research accompanies 130 specially commissioned color photographs in this authoritative and expert guide.
