Sullington
is a small hamlet south east of Storrington. The Sullington memorial
is in the form of what looks like a light on the top of a tapering column
set into a base outside the parish church, a dedicatory tablet is set
at the foot of the column, in fact the column is actually an "ancient
mill-roller" (source: local author Colin Ulph in his book "Southdown
Walks"). There are 4 names for World War 1 only plus a dedication
to the crew of submarine E 24. The church is in a narrow lane by a farmyard,
very remote and muddy.
