Aldingbourne

Footpath from The Old Vicarage to Long Down When I was a lad, the Diocese sold the vicarage in my home town to a hospital trust. we were all informed that he would be moving to a new housing estate. Apparently, he balked at this and a suitably grand house was bought for him. All over the country many former ecclesiastical homes in tiny villages have been sold. The incumbent will have to live somewhere but will probably have multiple parishes to supervise. I wonder what Noel Streatfeild would make of that...

Fontwell Park Fontwell Park Racecourse is a horse racing course located in the village of Fontwell in West Sussex, owned by ARC Racing. It features an oval hurdles course.
Fontwell Park was founded by Alfred Day who trained racehorses at The Hermitage, by the Chichester to Arundel road, from 1887. Day brought the name Fontwell back into use after researching the history of the area, and by 1924 he had purchased enough land to open a racecourse at Fontwell. The hurdles track was a normal shape, but the steeplechase course was laid out in a figure of eight shape to utilise the space on the site. The first meeting took place on 21 May 1924. The grandstand and the weighing room were built with thatched roofs.
