The young wayfarers seemed to recognize the travellers, and drew up to a quick halt, as if in alarm. "Lewknor and Mainwaring, by all that's unlucky!" said the one known as Tom Smith.
The approaching party viewed this movement with lively suspicion. "Who can they be?" queried Sir Lewis Lewknor, one of the noblemen. His companion, who was no less a personage than Sir Henry Mainwaring, lieutenant of Dover Castle, looked questioningly after the fugitives. "They are well mounted and have the start on us. We cannot overtake them," he muttered. "You know them, then?" asked Lewknor.
The castle stayed not long in the family of the builder, his son John probably perishing in the wars, and passed to Sir Thomas Lewknor, who opposed Richard III, and was therefore attainted of high treason and his castle besieged and taken. It was restored to him again by Henry VII, but the Lewknors never resided there again.
The village is in a most beautiful situation, surrounded by groups of low wooded hills. There is a station here on the Midhurst railway. The high road now winds through West Dean to Mid-Lavant and Chichester. Both villages have "restored" churches. The first named contains a notable monument the Lewknor. Near by is the beautiful West Dean Park.
