Review by G. D. Johnson in Sussex Notes and Queries, November 1953:The expressed object of this book is "to serve as such signposts for the amateur in his quest for the Sussex of our Saxon forefathers" and the text fully carries out this object by the historical matter which is interesting and helpful and also by descriptions of the Saxon remains still to be found. The Author's style is clear and it is a very readable book. There are naturally a few criticisms. It is a pity to introduce unnecessary controversy into a book of this nature and the Author's hero-worship of St. Wilfred rather blinds him to the real nature of the controversy where (in addition to the King) Wilfred was also opposed by the great Archbishop Theodore of Tarsus. The Author also has the common tendency to assume the coast-line was the same (except for minor details at Selsey) at the period he writes of as now, though there is evidence that in Roman times it was a mile further out and suffered great change when Lyonesse is believed to have perished and again when Old Winchelsea was overwhelmed. (Incidentally the "map of Saxon Sussex" should be corrected by showing Old Winchelsea is its conjectured site and not on the site to which Edward I removed it). A list of Saxon Bishops of Selsey would be useful in a future edition and the Author might eliminate the tiresome and annoying insertion of "A.D." before dates which (as in the case of references to the Christian Church) cannot possibly be " B.C.," see for instance p. 127 when the Vicar of Bosham is stated to have found bones in his Church "A.D. 1865." There are minor inaccuracies; Wisborough Green does not like to be called Wisborough; Chithurst Bridge "an old bridge of sandstone" (p. 75) was only built in 1858 and is largely brick; the Elsted Stream joins the Rother above Trotton Bridge and not near Stedham; Stopham bridge was built 1423 and not early 14th century, and the existence of a ford over the Arun at Ford cannot now be asserted (S.N.Q. xi, 25 & 141).
