High atop a hill in the South Downs National Park lies the smallest cemetary in Sussex. There is just one grave at this site, which belongs to John Harvey, who was part of the Harvey family who owned the nearby Ickwell Bury estate. Harvey dropped dead at this exact spot, and a well-maintained grave with a cross pays tribute to his life.
