About This Event

An exclusive preview: The Dark Little History of Sussex — a talk by author Kevin Newman Join us for a special afternoon with Sussex historian and author Kevin Newman, who will give an exclusive preview of his forthcoming book, The Dark Little History of Sussex: a look at the county's seedier, spookier and stranger past. Kevin Newman is the author of over 15 books on Sussex, including the bestselling The Little History of Sussex. He also writes novels, scripts and co-authors school textbooks, and is the author of Clock Towers of England. His latest book, Brighton At Work, was published this August, with Brighton & Hove In 25 Streets to follow. He lives in Washington, West Sussex, with his wife, two sons and one psychotic cat. Tickets include wine and nibbles before the talk, and a ploughman's lunch to follow. Booking essential: spaces are limited. Tickets on the door (if available) will be £15 each. This event is held in aid of Mid-Downland Parish, supporting the churches of Edburton, Newtimber, Poynings and Pyecombe. All profits from the event go towards their upkeep; so as well as a lovely afternoon with Kevin, you'll be helping keep these four historic Sussex churches standing for years to come.
