A Brief History of Sussex

History of Sussex

Sussex is my home. I love it here, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else in England. For that reason I thought I would share a little bit with you.

Sussex has it's own anthem

Sussex has it's own (un-offical) anthem called 'Sussex by the Sea' and was composed in 1907 by William Ward-Higgs. (His name is a bit of a mouthful!)

Sussex has it's own celebration day

Sussex has it's own day, 'Sussex day' which is celebrated on the 16th of June each year. It used to coincide with the feast day of St. Richard of Chichester (The patron saint of Sussex).
