Dist:0.2km<br/>The name of the field according to the 1840 tithe map. A large field that stretches between Tortington manor and Priory Farm, Tortington lane and Ford Road, the latter bisecting a portion. This view looks down towards that road in the lat evening sun.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken when this was used as the UK campus of New England College, based in Henniker, New Hampshire. Previously this had been a girls' school. This was part of the West Wing.

Dist:0.4km<br/>An extension added in the 1920s when the former manor house became a Catholic boarding school for girls. The school closed in 1969 and became a campus for an American college in 1971 until the last decade when it was vacated and the building turned into private apartments and houses.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Bathed in the sunshine of the setting sun. Beyond are two footbridges carrying the footpath from Tortington Manor behind the hedgerow and into waist high nettles. The Priory is the building to the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Originally a dead end lane that left the A27 west of Arundel and headed south to the church, manor and farm. An exit onto Ford Road was constructed when the latter itself was built in 1846 to connect Arundel to Ford station. Looking up the lane from the junction with the footpath that follows the old route to Tortington Priory.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View across the south lawns towards what was the New England Wing on the left and part of the original 18th century manor house to the right. Originally known as Tortington House it was converted into a Catholic girls boarding school in 1922 and remained so until 1969 when it closed and the building was acquired by New England College in New Hampshire, United States, and opened in 1971 as their English campus. It now seems that they have departed and the campus has been converted into a number of luxury apartments and homes. Much of the modification of the house has happened over the last century with extensive additions particularly added by the college.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Viewed from the footpath that links Goose Green with Tortington Lane. Withy Beds were once used to harvest willow for commercial use though this one seems to have been left to become plain woodland.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Taking a footpath from Goose Green over an unnamed stream towards Tortington lane. Withy Beds were originally planted with willow to harvest for commercial use though it now seems this one has become overgrown woodland.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Modern house built on the site of Tortington Priory, an Augustinian house that existed between the 12th century and dissolution in 1536. The site became Priory Farm which incorporated the remnants of the priory in the farm buildings until that too was sold up and its outhouses converted or rebuilt.
