In the book Wild Orchids Of Sussex by David Lang there is a quote as follows: "The Musk Orchid was first noted in Sussex in 1790 with the first documented record in 1805, from near a public house called The Marquis of Blandford in Worthing.
"The specimen was collected by a Mr Jackson and is in Sowerby's herbarium."
Does any reader know where The Marquis of Blandford pub was in 1805?
-Mrs B Short, The Glen, Worthing
