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).[4] Following the death of Colonel U.O. Thynne in 1957 the estate measuring about 1,025 acres (415 ha)[5] was split up and auctioned off.[2] In 1961 the house was demolished to make way for Worthing Crematorium that opened its doors on 5 January 1968.[6]
