And a third said: “What on earth is going on with the disgusting stink wafting across Horsham for the last few days?”

But now Horsham District has shed some light on the odd odour.

On Twitter a spokesman said the stench is most likely ‘farmers who spread fertiliser over their fields at this time of year’.

He added: “Nothing out of the ordinary. That’s a rural District for you!”
