The village is home to All Hallows Church with its unusual Scots crown spire which inspired both John Constable and J.W. Turner. There are many old dwellings including medieval timber framed houses with one third of the buildings in the parish being Grade II listed. The award winning local Inn in Tillington is just a short walk away. The Barn is located directly opposite the stately home of Petworth House and deer park which was landscaped by Lancelot ’Capability’ Brown. The house and its grounds are now owned and maintained by the National Trust. Petworth House has a rich and varied history waiting to be discovered with state rooms saturated with internationally important paintings by artists such as Van Dyck, Reynolds, Titian and Blake together with classical and neo-classical sculptures. You can follow in the footsteps of J.M.W Turner and whose paintings of Petworth Park can still be seen today. The town itself is full of quaint houses and cottages many within their own courtyard settings. They are interspersed with antique shops and tea rooms so it makes the ideal place for a stroll following your enjoyment of Petworth House and Park.
The market town of Midhurst nestles next to Cowdray Park and is a short 10-minute drive from the cottage. The Cowdray Estate is most famous for its polo club, particularly in June and July when the polo set meet for the Gold Cup. The Cowdray ruins are also of note since they were important early Tudor courtiers’ palaces built from 1520 and form an impressive backdrop to Midhurst. Cowdray played host to both Queen Elizabeth I and King Henry VIII and Guy Fawkes once worked at the house which later caused the Montague Family to be implicated in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Partially destroyed by fire in 1793 the magnificent ruins now tower over the town’s water meadows and visitors can explore where Kings and Queens of England once stood. Bignor Roman Villa is 20 minutes drive from The Barn. It is a large Roman courtyard villa which has been excavated and put on public display on the Bignor estate and is well known for its high quality mosaic floors, which are some of the most complete and intricate in the country.
The drive south from either Petworth or Midhurst over the South Downs to Chichester is extremely picturesque. Taking either road will bring you close to Goodwood, famous for its horseracing and more recently for the motorsport events; The Fesitval of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. There is plenty of good walking opportunities which provide you with classic scenery and fine views towards Chichester Cathedral and the Isle of Wight beyond. The cathedral city of Chichester is one of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK. Chichester has played a key role in the affairs of Sussex since at least Roman times. The city’s broad streets are packed with listed buildings headed by the towering presence of the cathedral now home to a family of peregrine falcons who swoop over the city at dusk . The city centre is neatly enclosed within the ancient city walls and this helps to make Chichester compact and pleasant to explore on foot.
