The Chanctonbury Ring
The 'classroom' at The Old School set up for a show and tell session
The Chanctonbury Ring, named by founder John Mansfield after an ancient hill feature that could be seen from this house, is not what you will find in Wikipedia, but the name given to the circle of people who regularly meet at Ted Brown's 'Museum' to share information and enjoy lively discussion. Why not come along?
