1847	168	Chichester Observer		Photo of Graylingwell farmhouse. Anna Sewell lived in West Sussex 1847-1857.
1847?	244 and 245 (photo of Anna Sewell)	The Woman who Wrote Black Beauty		It was in the year that Philip sailed for Spain that his (Anna Sewell's) parents moved to their third home in Sussex since leaving Brighton. Isaac, restless as ever, had taken up an appointment as manager of the Chichester branch of his old bank, presumably because the day­to-day management of the brewery either proved uncongenial or did not sufficiently occupy his tirpe. The London and County Bank at Chichester stood at 5 East Street where its successor, the National Westminster, still stands. Isaac and his family, however, did not live on the premises. Presumably they had by now developed a taste for country living for they moved to an old-fashioned country house at Grayling Wells. Grayling Wells was an old country estate near the barracks upon which the West Sussex Lunatic Asylum was eventually to be built. The Sewells probably rented Grayling farmhouse itself, for its owner was Thomas Smith, a leading Chichester Quaker, appointed fellow representative, with Isaac, to the Quarterly Meeting at Southampton in 1855. The name of John Abel Smith of Belgrave Square, however, appears as the tenant in the register of voters of the period. The house at Grayling Wells was probably the most beautiful that Anna had lived in. Not only was it an old manor house but it stood in an exceptionally fine garden. A woman who visited the house as a child remembered the garden many years later with the pond where bulrushes grew and the crab-apple tree loaded with ripe fruit.

Anna's mother was a well­known published author, poet, and social worker of her day, who did an enormous amount of charitable work. The farmhouse was …. surrounded by a number of the `Grayling wells.' … The Farmhouse was built sometime in the seventeenth century, or earlier.
