We were in West Sussex' Midhurst in 2016, camping at the Grange car park, a base for visits to the Woolbeding Gardens and to Petworth House. We were in Midhurst again this year, same basecamp, but this time staying at an AirBNB in town for four nights, enjoying the beautiful old market town as well as the major sites nearby. We did Woolbeding and Petworth again, too, but also spent a day just exploring Midhurst.

The owner's house, just behind what really was the
town blacksmith's |

| The garden out our door |
 |
| The Old Forge, now a large studio apartment |

A bit of the interior; really comfy, until we realized an English
double sofa bed is only 35" wide |
 |
| Sort of a Victorian "Welcome back, Kotter" |
 |
| Schola Grammaticalis |
 |
| Midhurst is a major polo center |
 |
| More our speed |
 |
| Scores of centuries-old buildings...see the 2016 post for more |

| Parish C of E |

Saturday market in the square; do you know who your fisherman
is? |
 |
| Main drag |
 |
We again did the walk to Cordray Castle ruins, and beyond, to the
Norman ruins on the hill above |
 |
Taking pretty much the same pix as before...beautiful little town,
well kept and presented |
