Midhurst
Midhurst (pronounced , or in the Sussex dialect: ''Medhas'' ) is a market town and civil parish in the Chichester District of West Sussex (until 1974 part of the former county of Sussex), in southern England. It lies on the River Rother about 20 miles inland from the English Channel, and about 12 miles north of the county town of Chichester.
The name Midhurst was first recorded in 1186 as ''Middeherst'', meaning "Middle wooded hill", or "(place) among the wooded hills". It derives from the Old English words ''midd'' (adjective) or ''mid'' (preposition), meaning "in the middle", plus ''hyrst'', "a wooded hill".〔Mills, A.D., (''Dictionary of British Place Names'' ). Retrieved 3 June 2015.〕
The town is home to the Norman St. Ann's Castle, which dates from the about 1120, although the foundations are all that can now be seen. The castle, the parish church of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Denis, together with South Pond (the former fish-pond for the castle) are the only three structures left from this early period. The parish church is the oldest building in Midhurst. Just across the River Rother, in the parish of Easebourne, is the ruin of the Tudor Cowdray House.
