FAMILY
The ruins can still be found on the map.
Piddingworth, once a farmer's cottage, is near the Ditchling Road, on Stanmer Farm
in East Sussex. It is also much more than a clump of stones.

This old place was once the home of my West family, in which lived my grandmother,
Rose, with her mother and father, brothers and sisters in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. They cultivated a life over the rich English soil of the Sussex Downs
and where, in the midst of their labour and in much suffering, they were both sustained
by the depth of their Christian faith as well as the enormous strength of character.

This legacy, quietly lived and passed on to me by their example, is the inspiration
for this site devoted to celebrating and advancing that cultural and religious heritage
in this generation.

You are especially invited to share in this little mission.
I hope you will find some inspiration in these pages as well as
useful resources.

Welcome.

Church where in 1991,
the crucifix over the 
pulpit was given by my
family and dedicated
by Fr. Andrew Robinson,
and myself to the memory
of the West Family.
