Many writers have written about the delights of the former kingdom of
the South Saxons, its Downs, villages, countryside, people and their
ways but Visitors' Historic Britain - West Sussex_ is the first book to
take readers on a tour of discovery of each of the county's historic
eras in turn.
Starting with prehistoric Sussex, we explore West Sussex from west to
east, investigating both little-known and well-visited sites that tell
the story of our ancestors' past. We encounter wild warriors, formidable
founders of the county, indefatigable industrialists, excitable
eccentrics and the lives of Sussex inhabitants and invaders.
Sussex is a country celebrated by writers, painters, royalty, artists
and the millions who have enjoyed its changing coastline and verdant
villages. Visitors' Historic Britain provides a unique series of
journeys for those who are inquisitive about this quirky and
history-changing part of the Southeast.
