Burton House Originally built in 1831 as a private residence for Henry Bassett, Burton Park [House] served for many years as a girl's school - St Michael's. The mansion, like many others in West Sussex, has been converted into luxury housing. Many of the grandest rooms in the building are now incorporated into spectacular apartments - and a cluster of very attractive houses have been built to the north and east of the building.

Gnarled tree trunk There are several of these trees hereabouts, with trunks of huge girth - maybe 3-4 metres in diameter. I think they may be sweet chestnuts.
