 The builders are back in the kitchen so we're going out to lunch again. Yesterday we traveled for an hour in a north-westerly direction to wind up in the market town of Horsham which is pretty in parts. I just skimmed through its entry on Wikipedia  and it seems nothing of more than local interest ever happened there. What a blessed spot! 

The prettiest of the pretty parts is a wide road called The Causeway which slopes downhill to the River Arun with the Museum at the top and the parish church at the bottom. There are nice old houses.

The parish church was uglified on the outside by a Victorian architect called Teulon but the inside is nice enough. The squat tower with a tall spire is typical of this part of West Sussex. There are two tombs with effigies- and I love an effigy.  The older of the two is of Sir Thomas de Braose (d.1395) and the other is of Elizabeth Delves (d.1654) by Edward Marshall, whose work turns up all over Kent and Sussex.
