Hilaire Belloc, Sussex’s great champion, describes the county in three parts: its physical nature of chalk Downs, Weald and coast; its historical development from Saxon settlement through churches and towns such as Arundel, Amberley and Lyminster; and its individual character with advice on how to see it. Wilfrid Ball’s paintings illustrate the book.
