South of England Road Trip 3/4

More pictures of the castle, I still can’t believe people actually live in it.

Then we took a walk around Chichester before taking a picnic in Bosham and watching the sunset.

On the fifth day we visited Petworth, it was very cute.

Arundel castle

Arundel Castle is located in Arundel in West Essex, England. The restored medieval castle was built at the end of the 11th century, overlooking the Arun River. Built for the Earl of Arundel, the castle has a motte (an artificial mound) that is over 100 feet high from the dry moat. One of the most interesting tidbits about this estate, aside from the occasional reversion to the Crown, is that Arundel Castle descended through a female line of heiresses from the 12th century to the present. It served as the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and their ancestors for over 850 years. The castle has a deep history and many politically famous owners. The castle was severely damaged during the civil war and besieged twice. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stayed at the castle for three days in 1846. The castle was completely restored by the 15th Duke of Norfolk in 1900. It was one of the first English country houses to have electric lighting, firefighting equipment, service lifts, and central heating. The estate has been updated and added to throughout its history. Arundel Castle boasts a crenelated Norman keep, a gatehouse, towers, the Fitzalan Chapel, Victorian bedrooms, rare collections of paintings and tapestries, a 19th century private chapel, and a library that’s considered one of the finest Regency interiors in the world. The themed gardens of Arundel include a rose garden, a cutting garden, a vinery, a stumpery, and a glasshouse. There’s also a castle shop, a museum, a coffee shop, and a restaurant in the original servants’ hall.

South of England Road Trip 2/4

On the third day we stayed a bit in Brighton then we went to Worthing (it’s kind of the same vibe as Brighton but a bit smaller). We spent the night (and the one after that) near Chichester.

The next day we visited Arundel Castle, it’s probably my favourite thing that we did. It was the most beautiful day and the castle was incredible

Henry ‘Chips’ Channon: The Diaries (Vol. 1), 1918-38, entry for 19th January 1923

—

Friday 19th January

A ball this evening in the great barons’ hall to which all of the county came including large parties from Petworth¹ and Albury² …. At four I went to bed and was lulled to sleep by the noise of the jazz and the dancing. We were over seventy at dinner and assembled in the dull Gothic library-gallery and processed in state into the dining room. The castle itself is quite bare of interesting furniture and tapestry and only a few mediocre pictures. I am almost the only ‘prot’³ and little bells tinkle continuously to call the faithful to Mass. I feel an outrageous heretic, even the servants disapprove of one. Our ‘Premier Duke’ is a nice lad of 14 called ‘Bernard’.⁴ He is shy but will form well. I find the mother more interesting than the daughter.

Achille Murat⁵ is engaged to be married to Mlle Chasseloup-Laubat.⁶ It sounds très noblesse de province⁷ but I may be wrong. What a gentle charmer Achille used to be. He would come to me always from the train when he arrived on permission … back in those happy 1918 days … when dirty, simple, young and unformed, he was a perfect companion for two or three days. We would go to plays and go dancing together and sometimes take his mother the Princesse Marie⁸ to dine with us. He had a deep sense of humour and yet was completely unselfconscious, almost as much as Ivo Grenfell.⁹ He was liked in his regiment and at last promoted to the dignity of maréchal du logis.¹⁰ It makes me sad this flight of time, and I realise so poignantly in flashes sometimes how much I have thrown away in abandoning my French life. Had I never known England and its rarer, richer charm of life I should have been happy there ….
