Midhurst
Midhurst is a market town, parish [3] and civil church in West Sussex, England. It lies on the River Rother 20 miles (32 kilometres) inland from the English Channel, as well as 12 miles (19 kilometres) north of the county town of Chichester. The name Midhurst was first recorded in 1186 as Middeherst, implying "Middle wooded hill", or "(area) amongst the wooded hillsides". It derives from the Old English words midd (adjective) or mid (preposition), implying "in the middle", plus hyrst, "a woody hillside". The Norman St. Ann's Castle days from about 1120, although the structures are all that can currently be seen. The castle, the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene as well as St. Denis, along with South Pond, the former fish-pond for the castle, are the only 3 structures left from this early duration. The parish church is the oldest building in Midhurst. Simply throughout the River Rother, in the church of Easebourne, is the mess up of the Tudor Cowdray House.
