S TREAT. 127 former volume of the Sussex Archaeological Society (Vol. iv.,p. 93), has been removed from a bed-room into one of thesitting-rooms. A curious old stone mantel-piece was foundwhile the recent alterations were in progress, and has beenplaced in the hall. It has some quaint carving on the front,a drawing of which is here given. The stone is very coarse,but the carving is executed with spirit and precision. Theengraving of the Manor House is from a photograph takenby Mr. Edwards, of Ditchling, within the last two years. The Church possesses no features of archaeological interestin the building, but it was well restored and enlarged twentyyears ago by the patron of the living, H. C. Lane, Esq., withthe co-operation of the rector, the Rev. Wm. FitzHugh, andthe parishioners. There are two mural monuments in thenorth side of the nave in white and coloured marble, to thememory of some of the Dobell family, which are good speci-mens of the florid taste prevalent in the last century
