If it has, IF here and there, a thought or an idea not generally obvious, it may perhaps be forgiven the repetitions which are inevitable in describing similar details forgiven the recital of familiar facts, whether historical, archaeological or natural forgiven, where, by the light of later or expert knowledge, errors are apparent. Some of these blemishes are consequent on the passage of time necessary to cover so large an area by frequent personal visitation. Some thirty-seven rambles are described, about equally divided between the east and west divisions of the county. Although indications of route are given, chiefly for the benefit of strangers, it does not claim to be a guide-book. Its size would preclude such a use. Neither does it pretend to be exhaustive.

    XXXI. a Few Remarks on the Discovery of the Remains Of

    430 XXXI. A few Remarks on the Discovery of the Remains of William de Warren, and his wife Gundrad, among the ruins of the Priory of Saint Pancras, at Southover, near Lewes, in Sussex. By GIDEON ALGERNON MANTELL, Esq. LL.D., FR.S., fyc, in a Letter to Sir HENKY ELLIS, K.H., FR.S, Secretary. Read 11th Dec. 1845. IT is not a little remarkable that so few objects of geological, or antiquarian, interest should hitherto have been brought to light, by the excavations and cuttings made, during the formation of the numerous lines of railway, in various parts of England. Extensive as are these operations, the accessions to the collection of the geologist, and to the cabinet of the antiquary, have been comparatively unimportant. The most interesting archaeological dis- covery effected by the railway cuttings, is unquestionably that which took place, about six weeks since, in the ruins of Lewes Priory; namely, of the two leaden coffers, containing the remains of the founder and foundress of that once celebrated religious establishment. To me, who in early boyhood had so often rambled among those ruins in quest of some relic of the olden time, and, in maturer years, had caused excavations to be made in various places, in the hope of discovering the graves of some of the illustrious dead which history instructs us were buried within the hallowed walls of this priory, the announcement of this discovery was peculiarly gratifying. Having visited the spot, and examined the relics that have been exhumed, it occurred to me that a brief notice of a few particulars that came under my observation, with some account of the Norman pavements which I dug up, many years since, near the place where the coffers were discovered, might, under existing circumstances, possess at least a temporary interest.

    Ouse & Adur Rivers Trust Riverside Walks Walk 6 – Lewes Brooks Circular Walk. (OS Map – Explorer 122) This is a 9 mile circular walk starting south of Lewes and taking in the villages of Iford, Northease, and Rodmell. On the walk you cross the Greenwich Meridian a total of 4 times, and enjoy some panoramic downland views from the valley of the Lower Ouse. Downland scenery Directions Start – TQ40450893, Park in the layby on the Kingston Road (C7), just south of Lewes Rugby Club. Looking Northwards, Lewes castle is visible on the horizon, and turning to look to the North East the 2 hills are Mount Caburn (on the left) and Firle Beacon (on the right). Follow the footpath signs down the track from the layby, through the gate, and take the right hand fork diagonally across the field to the gate in the hedge. In early July we saw plenty of butterflies including Gatekeepers, Commas, and Tortoiseshells. Pass through the gate and continue straight ahead through the middle of the field to the hedge. Waypoint 1 - TQ40390845, Looking to the left, the chalk cliffs mark the site of the Asham Cement Works which closed in 1978. Follow the narrow track under the trees keeping the barbed wire fence on your left. As you walk you pass a garden centre on your right. Continue over the stile, past the sewage treatment works on the left, at this point we spotted a number of alpacas in the field beyond. Whilst not typically Sussex animals, there are a number of farms keeping herds of alpacas for their fine fleece.
