The study examines the workings of an estate belonging to the fifth Duke of Richmond, a committed protectionist during the period when he had to cone to terms with the Repeal of the Corn Laws. It considers the Duke's paternalism as expressed in his altitude to Repeal, in the daily running of his own estate, in his dealings with agents, farmers, estate workers and the local townspeople of Chichester. Richmond's paternalism was concerned with the moral inprovement of those within his sphere, and the study examines the estate's financial resources which supported that paternalism, and the management structure which the fifth Duke created. The role of agent at Goodwood was particularly significant, and displayed change at a time of development for the estate, when a management hierarchy began to develop. The balances of rural society which Richmond maintained were in potential conflict with his task of leading in-çroved agriculture. Such irrprovement needed dynamic change, which was not encouraged in a highly traditional, rural context such as the west of Sussex. The study tests Errile's concept of the golden age against the evidence from estate papers, particularly in the light of the depression of 1849-1853. Efficiency in the Duke's own farming was not enough: there was a need toto spread agricultural irrçrovement among his tenant farmers. Farms, farmers and farming practice indicate that the spread of good practice was no easy task, and that progress was made by errploying a variety of tactics. The estate was subject to a variety of pressures which irrçinged on its authority structure, and the mid .-centruy was far from being a time of untroubled progress and txquali fled prosperity. ANOSALEEXE7Y1E1TS In a piece of sustained research, many people deserve thanks for their support over the years: colleagues, family, friends, and individuals in colleges, libraries, museums and records offices in different parts of the country. There are too many of them to mention individually, but their help was valuable, and gratefully received. Access to the Goodwood Papers was by courtesy of His Grace the Duke of Richrrond and Gordon, and with acknowledgements to the West Sussex County Records Office and the County Archivist. I should also like to thank Tim McCann of the West Sussex County Records Office, Mr E. Hampson and the staff of the Perkins Collection, Southampton University Library, and the staff of the Bognor College Library, West Sussex Institute of Higher Education. Finally, I must mention Dr dive Behagg, of the West Sussex InstitUte's History Department, who always managed to find the time to provide much valued support and advice.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION In 1959, Asa Briggs called the third quarter of the nineteenth century 'one of the 1 least studied periods in English history'. Nine years later, E.L.Jones commented on a healthily growing volume of literature on the subject but concluded that the writings were still 'at an awkward, in-between stage', for coverage of English agriculture was neither comprehensive, nor was it sufficiently focused to 2 provide a series of ready made debates round which a survey might be arranged'. To some extent, Jones's judgement might be said to hold good today since even now, no such series presents itself. Nevertheless, it is possible to identify several areas which have occupied historians in their attempts to explore issues appertaining to agriculture in the mid-Victorian period. Three of these have a direct bearing on the workings of a great estate in the mid nineteenth century and are related to how far any landlord was able to implement his - philosophy. First, the landowner's political and social position; second, his role as leader of agricultural improvement; and third an economic weakening of the landowner's position during the period. Interesting as each of these factors is individually, collectively they indicate potential conflict, anomaly and choices which might result in confusion and contradiction when translated into practical terms in the daily running of a great estate. 1. A.Briggs, Victorian Cities, 1959, p.9. 2. E.L.Jones, The Development of English Agriculture 1815-73, 1968, p.9. 1 Although the importance of' great estates has been acknowledged, little is known about their detailed internal workings. It is true that they were by no means the only kind of landholding, but they did constitute one type and, as Mingay has shown, landed estates and their tenants occupied 85-90% of English and Welsh farmland during 1 the period. This represented a significant area of nineteenth century life and social organisation.

Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

    THE PARISHES OF St Peter and St Mary, New Fishbourne, and St Mary the Virgin, Apuldram Rector: The Reverend Canon Moira Wickens Awesome Autumn As summer ends and autumn comes, Sunlight and cool nights of Autumn, Days get shorter, misty and cold. Help leaves to turn orangey red, And in this spectacular season, And combine all things smoothly, Nature's beauty graciously unfold. To add magic in season's lovely bed. Trees get ready to slow down, And all this shedding and replacement, And in autumn take some rest. Of leaves continue throughout the year, And show amazing colours of love, And trees only shed leaves in autumn, That are all at their best. To prepare for another winter dear. Green fades away quickly, This is God's spectacular display, And yellow and orange appear, Of beautiful colours of the fall, To show off their vibrant hues, During which many changes occur, And warm-up their surrounding dear. Including yellow, orange, red and all. This poem, written by Seema Chowdhury, sums up for me the wonder of this autumn season. A few months of the year when the created world seems on one hand to take a rest while giving us all a glimpse of God's immense glory. One of the most uplifting things for me at this time of year is to drive along country lanes, under a canopy of tree branches which are displaying so many colours in their leaves. And I am reminded that God's creative work is forever ongoing. I am also reminded that although it may seem as if plants and trees are having a rest beneath the soil, waiting to burst into life in the Spring, they are in fact being fed and nurtured, getting ready for what is to come.
