Chichester, Burial Ground, Rumboldswhyke
(South side of Bognor Road). Freehold, by deed of enlargement 1931, originally leasehold
for 1000 years from 1673 at a rent of 4d per year, last payment seems to have been about
1699. Twenty Burials are recorded between 1660 and 1779 as at Rumboldswhyke, but
probably a number of those recorded simply as at Chichester were also buried there.
In 1931, a strip of land was dedicated to the public for road widening and the
remainder leased to Chichester Corporation as a rest garden with commemorative tablet.
Annual value, 5/- paid to QM funds. |
