Muntham Court
Muntham Court was a country house and estate near a village of Findon, West Sussex, England. In the 1800s the estate covered 1,890 acres (760 ha). Following the death of Colonel U.O. Thynne in 1957 the estate measuring about 1,025 acres (415 ha) was split up and auctioned off. In 1961 the house was demolished to make way for Worthing Crematorium that opened its doors on 5 January 1968.
