Halnaker, Sussex

Historical Description

Halnaker, a tithing in Boxgrove parish, Sussex, 4 miles NE of Chichester. There is a post, money order, and telegraph office under Chichester. The manor was given by Henry I. to Robert de Haye, passed to the St Johns, the Poynings, the Delawarrs, the Morle½i, and others, and now belongs to the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, and is attached to Goodwood. A mansion on it dated from the time of the Conquest, was rebuilt by Sir Thomas West, Lord Delawarr, and is now little more than a mass of ruined walls.
