Excerpt from Sussex Archaeological Collections, Illustrating the History and Antiquities of the County, Vol. 1 One singular monument of wood has been preserved by the mud Of the river Arun, at North Stoke, to the present day, and the British Museum now, by the liberality of the late Earl of Egremont, exhibits this perhaps the Oldest boat in existence. Another very ancient vessel was found in the Rother at Northiam, in 1822, supposed to belong to a Danish fleet of the ninth century. The wooden churches of the Saxon period have long perished, but it would be interesting to ascertain, if possible, their number and situations, or to bring forward any instances of stone churches prior to the Norman conquest. It may be worth mentioning, at Brighton, that though only one church is mentioned in Domesday, yet very soon afterwards there is proof that Brighton was considerable enough to have two churches, the gift Of which by John de Keynes to Lewes Priory was confirmed by the second Earl de Warrenne. The scholar may point out to us the possessions, perhaps the dwelling, of the great Alfred among us, and may enable us, by the testimony of his companion Asser, and by the particulars in Alfred's will, to linger with increased interest on the spots he visited.
