Howard Dudley (1820-now)
Howard Dudley (18201864) wrote the first illustrated history of Horsham, West Sussex, in 1836. The book was entitled The History and Antiquities of Horsham and its Vicinities. He also produced the lithographs and woodcuts that were used as the illustrations, and then went on to print the book himself. Dudley was only 15 at the time. This was Dudleys second book; the first being a wider ranging history of Sussex entitled Juvenile Researches of which he produced two editions in 1835 and 1836.
