This book explores how the artists that formed the Pre-Raphaelites, had connections with Sussex throughout their lives, and highlights their legacy, including the paintings they worked on in the county, the many beautiful examples of stained glass to be seen, and the houses where they stayed and lived.The second half of this book details fifteen trails that the interested traveller can follow in order to see the range of wonderful work inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites. These include visits to houses that are open to the public, such as Standen, Petworth House and Batemans. Also included are many churches that reflect the genius of Morris & Co. and other Victorian stained glassmakers, as well as the ensuing Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau movements, which drew much of their inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites.
