Last week on the same excursion to West Sussex to visit Lyminster we also went to Pulborough to see the house - Arun Bank (no blue plaque) - in which Harry Price lived from 1908 to 1948 and in which his wife spent most of her time while he was travelling around investigating spirits and poltergeists and having affairs. He died there in his study on 29 March 1948 from a massive heart attack - he was working on a third book about Borley Rectory, which was never finished or published.
We also went to St Mary's Pulborough where Price and his wife are buried and found the grave. On this occasion there was a small bunch of flowers by the gravestone with a message "Dear Harry, Hope you enjoy your conversations with Gef the Mongoose." Christopher Josiffe's long-awaited study of this extremely bizarre case investigated by Price will be available next month. I can't wait to read it.

Is the house on Lower Street? When I look on Google Maps, it looks different to the photos you've taken?
The House is Arun Bank 39 Lower Street Pulborough.
