41

Henry Alled [41] was a modest veteran of the Crimean War, who lived in poverty in a shilling a week cottage in The High Street (roughly where The Rottingdean Lounge [view] can be found today). This may explain why he has no headstone, his grave is marked by railings surrounding a bush. It was therefore a shock to all when a troop of Life Guards appeared in the village in 1909 to bear his coffin to St Margaret’s Church for a military burial.
