Pennington, The Chequer
Inn, Steyning: Five centuries of
innkeeping in a Sussex Market Town, (Lancing: Lancing
Press, 1990), 27,
notes that in the early 19th century there were 'Girls in the Cage'
during the time that soldiers were garrisoned in Steyning during the
Napoleonic Wars; in 1815 one man was kept 'in hold' at the Chequer Inn
for two days, though quite where he was kept is unknown, hopefully not
the cellar; Hudson, 13-14, 238; the former pigeon house of Michelgrove
House at Clapham had been converted into a clock-tower some time after
1800. The Duke of Norfolk purchased the estate in 1827 and eventually
pulled the house down, when the clock became redundant and was moved to
Steyning.
