The Northchapel Guide
On the A283 North of Petworth, close to the Surrey Border and Blackdown Hill.
Now a peaceful part of West Sussex it is hard to believe it was once in the centre of the glass and iron industries. A charcoal factory was established near Northchapel during the 19th century. Noah Mann the Sussex cricketer was born here in 1756 and he became the landlord of the Half Moon Inn. He died at the age of 33 after falling into his own pub fire when asleep after coming back from a hard day's shooting and is buried in Northchapel churchyard.
Another famous personage in Northchapel was Bruce Bairnsfather, the First World War artist, and who created that wonderful character Old Bill.
