Brand New Book. Excerpt from Sussex Archaeological Collections, Vol. 17: Relating to the History and Antiquities of the County If a certain monotony appears in the Annual Reports of the Sussex Archaeological Society, it is the monotony of continued success and of cordial feeling among its constituents. As years roll by, there is no falling off, either in the interest of the Society s publications or in the success of those pleasant meetings in time-hallowed spots which have ever been characteristic of the Association. From circumstances over which the Committee have had little control, the publication of the present volume has been for some time delayed; but it is hoped that in coming years the Collections will be in the hands of members as early at least in the year as heretofore. The presentation of an annual volume has been a great element of the Society s prosperity, and although the Rules make no pledge for such a return for the very moderate subscription, it is intended to continue it so long as the Society s sources of pecuniary income and literary contributions are available. The delay alluded to enables us on the present occasion to record the public proceedings of two successive years, 1864 and 1865. The Annual Meeting of the former year took place at Seaford, the interesting churches of Bishopston and Blatchington being included in the day s programme. Some elucidations of the various objects of interest were offered by Mr. M. A. Lower. The more festive portion of the day s proceedings took place, as usual, beneath the shadow of the Society s well-known tent, and under the auspices of the Rt. Honourable the President of the Society. An unclouded sky and refreshing sea-breezes added much to the enjoyment of that truly pleasurable day. On the 10th of October, under most favourable circumstances, the Society visited Wakehurst Place and Ardingly Church - both objects of much archaeological interest - the former having been kindly thrown open to inspection by Joseph Esdaile, Esquire. Upon the liberal invitation of John Alexander Hankey, Esquire, the members and their friends afterwards visited Balcombe Place and its beautiful grounds, and were received by Mr. and Mrs. Hankey with an elegant and bountiful hospitality which places that happy gathering amongst the most conspicuous red-letter days in the calendar of the Society s excursions. At the Annual Meeting of the present year the Society s programme included the pleasant villages of Pulborough, Hardham, and Amberley. The fine church, with its lych-gate, at Pulborough, and the decaying mansions of Old Place and New Place were objects of much interest, as were also the remains of the Priory of Hardham. But the chief attraction was Amberley, whose Castle, for ages the residence of the Bishops of the Diocese, still preserves its external walls and other interesting features in almost their original integrity. There, under the presidency of our truly venerable Prelate, who is de facto Lord of Amberley, and again beneath the Society s canvas, the business of the General Annual Meeting was transacted, and a numerous party dined. An agreeable episode in the proceedings of the day was the presentation of a piece of plate to a gentleman to whom the Society is largely indebted.
