The town of Arundel in West Sussex is overlooked by Arundel Castle and the Roman Catholic cathedral, but the history of Arundel is built on much more than the castle and the dukes and Secret Arundel unveils the lesser-known stories of its townspeople and events.
In Secret Arundel, the author explores the lost and disused churches and chapels dotted around the town and its immediate surroundings as well as other unusual tales including a church divided in two, a missing Cathedral spire, a phone-answering parrot and the proposal by the son of former Prime Minister John Russell to build a 300-feet high wall along the South Downs.
With tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, it will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this town in West Sussex.
