BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Halnaker is a hamlet in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England. It lies on the A285 road 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of Chichester, where it follows the line of the Roman road to London called Stane Street. Halnaker House was an important medieval house begun by the de Haye family, who founded Boxgrove Priory. By descent it passed into the hands of the St John and Poynings families and was substantially upgraded in the 16th century by Thomas West, Lord de la Warr. It began to be neglected and it began to fall apart in 1800. Total ruination was helped along with the wholesale transplanting of interesting features from Halnaker to enhance various buildings throughout Chichester. The late 14th century gatehouse and substantial sandstone walls remain. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints. Track Page Views With Auctiva's FREE Counter
