Boxgrove priory and church, also the stained glass window and grave of Billy Fiske, World War two Hurricaine fighter pilot who was killed during the battle of Britain. Boxgrove Priory, in the village of Boxgrove in Sussex, was founded in about 1066 by Robert de Haye, who in 1105 bestowed the church of St. Mary of Boxgrove upon the Benedictine Abbey of Lessay. In about 1126 upon the marriage of Robert's daughter Cecily, to Roger St. John the number of monks living at Boxgrove was increased from the original three to six, and by 1187 there were a total of fifteen. The nineteenth monk was added to the priory in about 1230 by William de Kainesham, Canon of Chichester. By 1535 the priory's possessions were worth £185 19s. 8d. gross, and £145 10s. 2½d. clear. The ruins are a Grade I listed building.

Thanks for showing Billy's grave. I have never managed to get there myself. A beautiful video!

Many thanks for your comment! His grave is beautifully situated tucked away in a quiet corner of the graveyard next to another wargrave of a soldier from the reconaissance corps, a peaceful and serene spot. The stained glass window in the church is also remarkable. Should you wish to have any photos e mailed to you then let me know, i have them all saved to my pc.
