John Norden, the surveyor and topographer, prepared a 'Description of Sussex' in 1594-5 as part of his projected 'Speculum Britanniae'. The map which it was intended to accompany was published in 1595, but the 'Description' remained only in manuscript and is now known in a holograph fragment and in an almost complete copy of 60 or 70 years later. The background to, and the contents of, Norden's 'Description' are discussed.
