    • * Sir Anthony St. Leger, K.G., was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1540, having previously acted as of the commissioners for letting the crown lands there. He died 16 March, 1558-9, and his descendant in the fifth generation was in 1703 created Baron Kilmadon and Viscout Doneraile. There seems to have been an earlier connection that the above between the St. Leger family and the parish of Slindon, as Mr. Lower cites the will of Anthony St. Leger, Esq., dated 1539, in which, after disposing of his interest in certain lands in Slindon, he desires interment in the parish church of Slindon "before the picture of our Lady." (S.A.C. iii. III.) Mr. Gibbon, "Richmond Herald," seems inclined to identify the testator with Sir Anthony's grandfather. (S. A. C. xii. 99.)

  • BY DAVID ROSS, EDITOR
  • A very pretty village of flint and brick cottages, on the South Downs, just a few miles from Arundel. Slindon House (now a school) was built for the Archbishops of Caterbury. Archbishop Stephen Langton, one of the most powerful men in the realm during the reign of King John, died at SlindonHouse in 1228. The village is built around a lovely green, with a flint church occupying one side of the green.
  • The church is largely 12th century. Within it stands a curious monument to Sir Anthony St Leger (d 1539). The reclining figure of Sir Anthony is carved from wood, making it the only such monument in Sussex.
  • Near the church is the field where Sir Richard Newland is said to have laid down the rules for the modern game of cricket. Just over a mile outside the village is Denman's Garden, a 4 acre garden renown for its colourful plantings.

  • Both Catholic and Anglican churches stand close by the college in ecumenical harmony. The parish church of St Mary’s houses the only wooden effigy in a Sussex church, thought to be that of Sir Anthony St Leger (d. 1539) in full armour.
