Michelgrove
Looking down Michelgrove Lane towards the gate that marks the end of the public highway known and the start of the access road to Lee Farm which is a public bridleway. For many centuries Michelgrove was the site of a large house belonging to the Shelley family and its home farm. In 1800 the Shelleys sold out to Liverpool merchant Richard Walker and he and particularly his son extended the house and had grandiose plans to landscape the surrounding parkland. However, the son, Richard Watt Walker, squandered his inheritance and was forced to sell the house in 1827 to his neighbour, the Duke of Norfolk, The farm had already moved in 1814 to its current site at Myrtle Grove whilst the house was demolished in 1828 by the Duke who had no need of it, prefering to amalgamate Michelgrove Park with his estate. The grounds were later used as racing stables and a smaller house and a row of cottages were built on the site of the old mansion, of which only one wall and a walled garden remain.

Michelgrove
Small hamlet featuring a large house and a few cottages and bungalows. Once the seat of a great house owned by the Shelley family which included a large area of parkland now part of the Angmering Park Estate. The great house was sold by the Shelleys to a Richard Walker in 1800 whose dissolute sons ran up so much debt they were forced to sell in 1828 to the Duke of Norfolk who combined the Michelgrove lands with his own to make up the current large estate that stretches from Warningcamp in the west to Salvington in the east. The house was demolished in 1877 and little remains today. The public lane ends at the gate where it becomes a private access road for Lee Farm.
