Description: 
Bognor Regis began as a Saxon village.  The town is the result of Sir Richard Hotham’s 18th century vision to turn the small fishing hamlet of Bognor into a seaside resort that would attract nobility away from the increasingly busy Brighton and Margate.  His vision was achieved, resulting in an impressive list of royal visitors.  It has been claimed that Hotham and his new resort are portrayed in Jane Austen's unfinished novel Sandition.
