British History Online is making all research content free to individual researchers until 30th September.

If for nothing else, it is worth having a look at the Victoria County Histories.

Please share my delight.

Oh has had to compose his face to look pleased again, he doesn't know why but he does it to please me and I might just as well be telling him I have just found a winge-flongle. Just out of pity, could you all do the same please.

I have found a reference to the King's mill in the 1285 manorial custumal.

Now, isn't that something?

Thank you for your support, I can't help it.

Which King's Mill is that?

All I can say is that is local to me but I am not sure about where it was.

There was the big mill at Sidlesham but I don't think that this was the one.

My family lived in Climping MIll in about 1955/56.
It was just before I was born.
The family moved to Worthing, either because my mum accidentally started a fire there, or to be nearer a hospital, or both - and I was born at Southlands.

How strange.

Quite by chance, I discovered that I have a family member buried in Climping churchyard, which is right next to Ford open prison.
