Raymond Briggs House
Raymond had a fondness for Sussex that kept him as a resident here for a long time; he regrettably went away in the county.
Raymond and his partner Liz established a property in Westmeston, East Sussex, close to the ancient town of Lewes, since they adore the outdoors and the South Downs.
