NOTES TO SUSSEX.

"Great upon Little." It is about half a mile westward from West Hoathly church. (Horsfield's Suss. I, 263.)

128. Hollington.—In (Val. Eccl.) we find mention of the "free chapel" of Hollington, the vicarage being estimated separately, and the vicar and the chaplain being manifestly different persons. It may be conjectured perhaps, that this notice refers to the church of St. Leonard, the continued existence of which, in that case, we learn during the first quarter of the sixteenth century.

129. Hooe.—There is a very small piscina in this church, and some coloured glass, supposed to represent K. Edward III and Q. Philippa. (Horsfield's Suss. I, 545.) An alien priory, belonging to that of Bec in Normandy, is stated to have been erected here soon after A.D. 1139. (Monast. VI, 1053.)

130. Horsham.—This church contains a stone effigy of Tho. Lord Braiose, temp. K. Richard II. (Cartwright.) Also a Brass of a nameless priest, about A.D. 1430, described and represented (Monum. Brasses, 98).

131. Horsted Keynes.—In the church is a curious small cross-legged effigy, only twenty-seven inches in length (which is fully described in Archæol. Journal, III, 234-239, and in Suss. Arch. Coll. I, 128, et seq.) (Val. Eccl.) mentions a chantry of "Brodehurst" in this parish, Broadhurst, now a farm-house only, was the residence, to which Archbp. Leighton retired for the remainder of his life, after resigning the archbishopric of Glasgow, temp. K. Charles II.

132. Horsted, Little.—This church consists of only chancel, nave, and large western tower. The first is Norm., exhibiting on the exterior north wall a rude round-headed arcade, in the alternate panels of which were very small windows, now bricked up. The east window is Perp. The chancel and nave are not in the same straight line. In the nave are one Dec. and two Perp. windows. The font is dated 1666. The tower is Perp.

133. Houghton.—This place (spelled "Horghtone" in A.D. 1291) is merely a chapelry, and was united to Amberley in A.D. 1700. (Cartwright's Dallaway.) There was an ancient forest in this parish, belonging to the Bishop of Chichester. (Horsfield's Suss. II, 148.)

134. Hove.—(A.D. 1291) "Vicarius de Huna," in the deanery of Lewes, is considered to signify Hove. Very possibly the name ought to be read with letter u repeated, synonymous
