The History of 2 Arundel Terrace

The Revd Thomas Nash is listed as one of the first residents of Arundel Terrace in 1827-8 and again (at 4 Arundel Terrace) in 1829-30. He was the vicar of St James the Less in Lancing between 1823 and 1834 where building restoration was undertaken at his personal expense.

Revd Nash died at the young age of 36 and there is a memorial to him in the church. His widow Dorinda Estella Maria Brander Nash was living at 2 Arundel Terrace with her three sons (Thomas, William and George) by the time of the 1841 census. The eldest surviving son Thomas, having served in the army, returned to the house after retiring and continued to live at the address until 1906.

Dorinda died in 1866 while her youngest son George Lloyd Nash followed his father’s vocation and eventually became the vicar of Tolpuddle in Dorset.
