Nine years before Charles II. Was restored to his throne, Colonel Counter, of Racton, was one of the chief agents in getting the King safely out of the country, after he had been wandering about for weeks disguised, enduring terrible hardships. The loyal colonel has left behind him a record of the im- 90 Picturesque Old Houses portant part he played in the drama how Lord Wilmot (the father of the witty and debauched poet) came to his house one night; how the colonel's wife was mystified, and ho...w, like most women, she suc- ceeded in worming out the secret ; how also, after a hundred strange incidents, he stood on the beach near Shoreham watching Captain Tattersall's little craft, with its precious cargo, growing smaller and smaller as it sailed merrily towards the coast of France. 1 Lordington House at Racton has not shared the fate of its neighbour, the home of the Counters. It is a plain-looking Stuart house, but its interior contains some good panelled rooms and a wonderfully fine oak staircase with great monsters supporting shields upon the various landings.
