    About this series

    Volume 2 Introduction

    Welcome to the second of many volumes of Sussex Mysteries. In this book you will discover a Stone Age journey from Dorset to Sussex, the perils of illegal metal detecting, the sad case of the demolition of a beautiful house, what may have happened to a missing palace, how people panicked when the Normans were landing, how it is easy to get confused by ancient names, how we ended up with a navy, the alleged crimes of an overzealous museum curator, the tale of a possible Bond-style spy and a crime story that Sherlock Holmes should have investigated.

    Rather than just repeat what others have said, I have tried to give an opinion, in some cases based hopefully on logic derived from academic evidence – or to flesh out possibilities where mysteries still pertain. Any mistake are mine.

    Ten tales. Enjoy!
