Around 5,400 people live in Midhurst (at the 2021 census) — a small West Sussex town on the edge of one of England's best-known ghost stories.
The curse of Cowdray House
According to local legend, a monk evicted from Battle Abbey in the 1530s cursed the family who took over nearby Cowdray House, warning their line would end 'by fire and water'. In September 1793, Cowdray House burned down to the ruins that still stand on the edge of Midhurst today — roughly a week after its owner, the 8th Viscount Montague, drowned attempting to shoot the rapids below the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Midhurst shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than a special trip — shoppers here might otherwise head to Chichester or Petersfield for a wider selection.
