I've read that the plague, of 1665, moved out of London into the rest of the country and must have reached Sussex but does anyone know which places in Sussex were hit and where I can find information on those places and the plague? IDoes anyone have any idea as to when the plague, country-wide, is considered to have, finally, died out? I've searched the Internet but not managed to find what I'm looking for so would be grateful for any information! Thanks in anticipation, Regards to all, John

I remember reading this "Men of Bosham During the Plague year of 1664, the people of Bosham took food to citizens of Chichester, who were confined within the City Walls. Because of this Christian charity, they were granted the right to sell fish in any market in England without paying tolls. They have the rights to free mooring, wild-fowling, and fishing within the waters of Bosham Harbour. " SoI guess it was in the city but not in the surrounding area.
