Fitzcane

A motto to live by coming up to holiday season!

For those not familiar with Midhurst, this is what the icecream parlour says:

"But why the name Fitzcane's? Around 1105 King Henry I gave lands including Midhurst and Easebourne to Savaric Fitzcane (or Fitzcana) a fortune hunter from Normandy.   One of his sons built a small manor house on St Anne's Hill, and another descendant built the original home at Cowdray in about 1280. So with its local historical connections, we thought that would be a fine name for our cafe!"
