Moving to West Sussex?

Bang on the south coast, with lush green countryside and a warm sunny climate, West Sussex has always been one of the first points of attack in the British Isles. The county has been inhabited by successive cultures for up to 80,000 years as the tombs, burial mounds and hill forts scattered across the rolling downs testify. The Romans first attempted to invade in 54 B.C.; the second time they came, in A.D. 43, they used the area that is now Chichester as a bridgehead. They built a city called Noviomagus Reginorum there and filled the surrounding area with elegant villas and temples. They were expelled in 477 by the Saxon King Aelle, who started to build a South Saxon kingdom. After his death, the kingdom was subsumed into Wessex.

Saxons were followed by Danes: from 895 the county suffered constant Danish raids, eventually submitting to King Canute in 1016. His descendants had only fifty years to enjoy their success before the arrival of the Normans, who had strong links with the area. It became a focal point of several rebellions including the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt and Jack Cade’s 1450 rebellion. During the Civil War West Sussex was Royalist while East Sussex declared for Cromwell. Chichester and Arundel were besieged and the Roundheads gained a strong majority. Thereafter the population focused on work: iron smelting had been a crucial industry since the 12th century and remained so well into the 18th century. Today, the turbulent past behind them, people in West Sussex are some of the most prosperous in the country.

Chichester, the county town, retains the Roman layout: a cross-shape radiating outwards from the medieval market. The Cathedral was founded in the 11th century, although the spire had to be replaced in the 19th century after the old one collapsed. A window in the floor offers a view of a Roman mosaic. The Butter Market, designed by John Nash, opened as a produce market in 1810 and is still used for retail. Pallant House Gallery has an excellent collection of mainly British modern art. Chichester Festival Theatre is one of the best provincial theatres in the country. For many, the highlight is Chichester RAJF (Real Ale and Jazz Festival), a four day festival of music and real ale held each July in tents beside the 13th century Guildhall in Priory Park. Blues on the Farm, held every June at Pump Bottom Farm two miles south of the city, has become the UK's biggest outdoor blues festival.

Fishbourne Roman Palace is simply extraordinary. Built around thirty years after the invasion, the rectangular palace surrounded formal gardens, the northern half of which have been reconstructed. Many mosaics have been perfectly preserved, including an astonishing dolphin mosaic in the north wing. The Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin in Sompting dates from the 11th century and features a Saxon tower topped by a Rhenish helm – a four-sided pyramid-style gabled cap which is unique in England. Arundel Castle has played a crucial role since the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), and Bramber Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle. Finally, Worthing Museum and Art Gallery houses the biggest collection of Georgian & Victorian costume in south-east England.
