Petworth Cemetery- very peaceful place, sad to see so overgrown in places with gravestones falling apart. The chapel is tiny and completely empty.
The long grave with monument is the resting place of the 28 boys who lost their lives along with the headmaster Charles Stevenson and assistant teacher Charlotte Marshall when a lone German plane, approaching from the south over Hoes Farm, aimed three bombs at Petworth House, which missed the house, but one of which bounced off a tree and landed on the Petworth Boys' School in North Street. on 29 September 1942
