This book provides a descriptive and historical account of the coastal region of Sussex from the delightful seaside resort of Bognor to the historic town of Pagham. Bognor began its history as a small fishing village and farming community and grew as a fashionable seaside resort under the patronage of Sir Richard Hotham in the late 18th century. The book provides insights into the architectural evolution of the town, the building of its landmark hotel, and the families who shaped its early growth. The author offers a comprehensive history of its landmarks, from the creation of the Jubilee School to the erection of grand private villas, such as Smiley Lodge and Arran Lodge. The book also explores the nearby villages of Pagham, Aldwick, North Bersted, South Bersted, Felpham, Middleton, and Mundham, setting their development within the broader context of Sussex and English history, highlighting the Norman Conquest, the Black Death, and the Reformation. This book not only offers a glimpse into the past of the Sussex coast but also draws attention to the rich tapestry of social, religious, and economic themes that are woven into the fabric of English life.
