Another beautiful day as we approach the end of our holiday had us heading to Fletching near where we are in Sussex, where one of our ancestors was born. It is a lovely village, with an excellent 12th century church very well taken care of. We were welcomed in by the vicar, who was meeting with several others in the pews to plan for some repair to the shingled spire. We took our time browsing through this fine building, then walked through the village, home to an award winning pub.

Next stop was the nearby Sheffield Park Garden, a lovely setting developed for an aristocratic family and now open to the public. Many others were taking advantage of the lovely day; we spent much of the afternoon walking the paths through the colourful trees and alongside the ponds.
