THAKEHAM Domesday church and an attempted murder This is the heart of an ancient parish, the church was listed in the Domesday survey of 1086, when herds of over 400 pigs were pastured nearby, and a retired soldier worked his land with a yoke of oxen. In 1257, near Champions Farm opposite the Abingworth Hall Hotel on the Storrington Road, the rector was brutally attacked and nearly killed by a group of men led by the rector of neighbouring West Chiltington, probably as the result of a disagreement over the church tax known as tithes. In the 1600s, Champions was owned by the Shelley family, ancestors of the Warnham-born poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The church contains an impressive series of 16th century memorials to some of the Apsley family who lived at Thakeham Place, just to the south, and one to James Butler of Amberley Castle.

STORRINGTON Storks and artists In 1086 the Domesday Book records Storrington as ‘Estorchestone’ a place well-known for storks. The history of Storrington has little to do with storks, and more to do with being a flourishing market place, with a fulling and tanning industry. In the early part of the 20th century it was also a centre of an artistic community. Storrington was given permission to hold a regular market from 1399, as well as a twice-yearly fair. These continued until the end of the nineteenth century. With the markets went inns and public houses, the White Horse was recorded as an inn in 1666, and the Half Moon in 1844. Rabbit breeding was also once an important local industry, and is still indicated by various place names ending in ‘warren’, signifying a place where rabbits were kept. Until the 1800s there were three working windmills and three watermills, and there was at least one earlier fulling mill down Chantry Lane. Fulling was a part of a process of preparing cloth that needed running water. At the end of the 19th century Horsham District became the home for a number of Roman Catholic orders forced to flee persecution in France. At Storrington the White Canons built a priory. This became the home for a number of artists including the poet Francis Thompson (1859-1907) who spent two years trying to beat opium addiction, and Hilaire Belloc who stayed there in 1906. The area attracted Wilfred Meynell, the poet and writer, as well as Arthur Bell (1875-1918) the disabled poet. Bell lies buried in the churchyard, his headstone was carved by the then up and coming sculptor Eric Gill. Sir Arnold Bax, the composer lived at Storrington until his death in 1953. At nearby Sullington lived the writer A J Cronin and various artists including Edwin Harris, some of whose watercolours can be seen at Horsham Museum.

This sign portrays the legend of the Holt Owl and replaces the sign which was presented by the Holt Women's Institute's in 1976. This new sign was provided by public subscription and erected in 1990. 'Holt' was the Anglo-Saxon word for wood. Centuries ago, the town was known as 'Holt Markett'. The manor of Holt was once held by Edward the Confessor (1042-1066), and is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). In 1708 the town was devastated by fire, but was re-built and so acquired its Georgian character. The legend of the Holt owl goes back to the time when some local men caught an owl and put it in the Town Pound for "safe-keeping", whereupon the owl flew away.

Holy Trinity. The earliest parts of this church are 13th century although an earlier church is recorded by Domesday Survey of 1086. Most of the fabric was built about 1400-1600 when the town's cloth trade was at its peak. In 1553 Queen Mary gave the living to Trinity College, Cambridge, which is still its patron. The church is the largest in Cumbria and in the 19th century regularly accommodated about 1100 people.

The Town Mills There was probably a water mill on this site before the Norman conquest, though the Domesday Book is silent on this. A town the size of Guildford would certainly have needed a regular supply of flour. By the later Middle Ages the mills included a fulling mill, in which locally-made woollen cloth was hammered to produce a smooth surface. In 1624 Henry Smith, a generous benefactor to Surrey, gave the mills in trust, the income going to support the poor of Guildford. In 1701 pumps were installed in the mill to supply the town with water, which was pumped up hollowed-out elm logs to a reservoir at the bottom of Pewley Hill. in 1770 the eastern part of the mills was handsomely rebuilt in brick. The western part however was simply repaired until 1851 when it was rebuilt as a two-bay extension. This followed the 1770 style so closely that it is hard to distinguish the join. The population of London was growing rapidly and Guildford, with its important corn market and river communication, was well placed to supply the metropolis. By the 1890s local milling had declined and the mills were bought by Guildford Corporation to become a water works. In the 1960s the building was taken over by the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre and remains one of the town's most impressive industrial monuments.
