The volumes in this series each contain an illustrated section about the county, followed by a long list of short biographies (each with a photographic portrait) of men of the county who were alive at the time of publication (plus a few who had recently died). Each volume has an index to the illustrations of buildings and views of the county, and an index to the biographies.

This coffin was discovered in Bosham Church, on 4 August 1865, but there is no evidence of a connection with Knut or his daughter.
