An account of Elizabeth I’s only visit to West Sussex

Elizabeth I’s visit to West Sussex

In 1591 Elizabeth I’s summer progress brought her south through Surrey into West Sussex, stopping at Cowdray for a week and the City of Chichester for several days. What happened, and what was it like for her hosts and the people on her progress?
