| Comments: | Hi. A very enjoyable site. My mother is Muriel Chalk the last surviving member of the Chalk family from Woodford Villas in High Street. My father Jim Hutton,from Northern Ireland, met my mother in the RAF during the 2nd world war. I have vague memories of attending school, of the village etc from the early fifties. The family moved to Northern Ireland in 1956 and I have never been back to Angmering. Do love to read the local news, events, articles. etc. though. |

| Comments: | This is the best village site I have seen. I was horrified that the Forum had to be closed because of the behaviour of so-called "adults". I hope they are ashamed of themselves. I am descended from the Penfolds. Elizabeth married English Corney who was transported to Australia and later made a good life for himself and his family. My grandmother was their granddaughter. Even though he was a convict, we are proud of him. |

| Comments: | As an ex Angmering resident I must say it was wonderful to read the comments offered to the potential new resident coming from France.Recently all the forums have been filled with grumpy comments from people who one can only imagine are elderly old people sitting in their armchairs just waiting for something to moan about.
All I can say is people of Angmering think youself lucky to live in a wonderful old village. Stop moaning |

| Comments: | What a great site, beautifully done, thank you. Lovely to see a photograph of my grandfather George Chant on it but according to my mother and George Garland books of photos of the 1920'/30s my grandfather worked for Oscar Pyle and not Samuel. He was a well known figure at Findon Fair with Oscar Pyle's pedigree Southdown flock.
My granddaughter who is working in London on a prolonged working holiday from New Zealand has just sent me a photo of herself out side of Chants and has an invitation to see inside the house, she is so thrilled. Keep up the good work on this beautiful site, makes me quite nostalgic. Pat Stearn |

I grew up in Angmering and attended Olders School in the 1950s. My maiden name was Parsons and my family had lived in the village for generations, alas I was the last of the line.I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me from those schooldays. |

| Comments: | Very interesting site. My grandfather was posted to Angmering as a Policeman sometime after the Boer War . He was in Worthing in 1906. My mother born 1908 was at Angmering Olders Charity school as she had a Standard 8 reference from the Headmaster. I know that she corresponded with Ivy ? for many years ( a school friend).
Has anybody any information of this period? Many thanks Sue E |

| Comments: | Hi,
I've just started research on my mother's family history. Her mother was Dorothy Charlotte Tompkins and her father was Charles Russell Tompkins, son of John Cole Tompkins. I've discovered that the Tompkins were farmers in Poling and Angmering. I would like to know more about their roots. If anyone has any background information on the Tompkins I would really appreciate it. This site is a goldmine - I have already delved into the census's from 1841 onwards but if anyone can take me back further? Any images would be appreciated too - such as gravestones, farms, etc. Please contact me via email address. Many thanks - Tim Hannah |

Just popping in to get my latest Angmering 'fix' I love to follow the progress of the village and find out what's happening. My parents, Peter and Vera Penn, send their regards to anyone that may remember them from long ago. They are now in their eighties, and plodding along slowly. Thanks for such a fine, informative site. It keeps those of us who will probably never get the opportunity to return to Angmering, a way of keeping in touch with the lovely village (where I was born.) Bye for now, Regards, Marilyn Work (nee Penn) Hoping this gets 'posted'.....haven't been successful in getting message posted lately. Please note new email address. |

| Comments: | Visited 'reminiscences of Angmering' site Dec. '04, just spent some time reviewing historical information etc.
My grandfather's brother Harry Edward BEMAN owned the grocer shop (& Post Office) 1910-1922, and had daughter Winifred WHITING. Any stories, anecdotes, information etc., relating to Harry, Winifred or relatives from that time would be gratefully received to add to my Family History research. Excellent website, very well produced and supported, Ken Beman Grandson of Eugene Cecil BEMAN! |

| Comments: | This is a really superb site. Comprehensive, informative, up-to-date. I'm doing some research into possible places to move to with my two young sons, and your site is, by a mile, the best local guide for any of the areas I've looked at so far. And it's put Angmering at the top of my shortlist, so I'll be paying a visit soon! Keep up the good work.

My hustand, my son and I are planning to move to Angmering in the Summer and, being the inherently nosey person that I am, I wanted to find out something about Angmering's past. This site more than fits the bill and may I say a big 'thank you'. Well done and keep up the good work! |

| Comments: | Just wanted to congratulate you on a first class site - I think the best of its type I have seen. Came upon it during family history research - of course! - most of my mothers family came from the Worthing area, including West Tarring, Heene, etc, with some links to Angmering. Names included Ball, Carter, Grevatt, Bone, Berry, etc.
Although I no longer live in Sussex, I still have fond childhood memories of the time when we lived, during the war, near Felpham when my grandfather was stationed with the RAF at Ford. All best wishes. |

| Comments: | Having looked at the wonderful collection of old village photographs I have to admit being directly related to the Terry family who lived in the house next to the Lamb. The family is described as 'enormous, there having been 17 children!' Actually there were 18 altogether, my father Harry, who was known in the village as 'Brusher' was the 18th and he died at the age of 92 a few years ago. What came as a great surprise to me were the two photographs of the crenelated house next to the Lamb where my Grandfather James and his wife Edith raised their family. I had not seen either photograph before and I would dearly like to obtain copies of them for my family records. Can anyone tell me how I can get hold of them? The Terrys have often been described as eccentric characters. James was the Village butcher and Edith, who always wore a man's hat ran a local newspaper business of sorts. I am always anxious to learn more about this rather strange family so if anyone can tell me more I would be most interested |

Angmering remains just as I remember it...absolutely beautiful. My parents (Penn) were married in St Margarets..and I remember my paternal grandmother lived in Water Lane. Many memories of a lovely village that I hope, one day, to see again. Keep up the good work. Will visit here again...now I've found you. |

Card is to Twinning partners in Ouistreham so a good way of introducing Angmering to a couple who have not ever been to the UK but will be here with us for the 2006 exchange & am glad to see the parish Council will support us in this the 30th year of Angmering/Ouistreham Twinning. |

I grew up in Brighton/Hove & remember many bike rides with friends along the coast - yes, even as far as your lovely village - boy, we must have been fit. Anyway, it's over 40 years since I left England, but it's wonderful to see proof that there are at least some areas which, even with the inevitable changes, still retain those things I remember. Well done to all concerned. |

| Comments: | Wonderful website about an obviously beautiful village.
Am particularly interested in the family history information - and would love to express my great appreciation to all the hard work which I know would have gone into it. My particular interest is in my ancestors the Drewetts and Knowles who show up in the late 1600 and 1700's. Although I have viewed the parish registers through this site I have gathered so much more information which I would have been unaware was available without many more 'fishing expeditions' in various records. Thanks again and we hope to visit the village later this year when we visit the UK. |

Your experience with the Parish Council mirrors that of the Findon Website experience. My personal view is that Parish Councils are an anachronism and should be abolished in favour of Village Mayors. But I guess it's a Pipe Dream. |
