The clump of trees at Duncton Beacon, also known as Littleton Down, Nr Petworth in West Sussex, is often referred to as the "Bishops Ring" and was planted by the then owner of the Lavington Park estate which is now Seaford College.

The estate owner at that time was the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce (1805-1873), third son of William Wilberforce the famous slavery abolitionist

Therefore, it is suspected the answer to the question in the West Sussex Women's Institute quiz of 2009 of "who is commemorated by the clump of trees at Duncton Beacon" is Samuel Wilberforce.

This information was found in a book at the Sussex Downs Association, who is sincerely thanked for their help.
