On the South Downs yesterday part of my route took me on The Monarchs
Way. South of Bignor Hill part of the Way is an old bridleway known as
"The Denture". I assume this has nothing to do with Charles II's teeth,
but just wondered if anyone knows why it is so-called?

What time were you out? I was out on the same path about 1.30pm! I was
with a group of 6 walkers from the church doing the circuit from
Whiteways Lodge up to Bignor post by the Monarchs Way and then back via
the South Downs Way.
I think that the term "Denture" refers to a type of path, but I can't
fimd any info on this.

I must have passed you somewhere - I was out at around the same time as
you but doing the circuit in the opposite direction. I was with Mrs Sid
plus our 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks - hard to miss! You might be right
about The Denture, but this particular path is referred to by this name
on the OS maps and in guidebooks. I've often wondered why.

"Dent" is a not uncommon root word, indent - something sticking into,
indenture - a legal document which was cut in two with a jagged line.
It the path notably jagged or sticking into something?

Ah, I remember you, or more correctly, I remember the dogs anyway!

Yes, I've seen several paths referred to as "The Denture" on OS maps!

Woof! They do tend to alarm people, though - they are large dogs, and
the ridge of hair on their back is often misinterpreted as "having their
hackles up". (And before the anti-dog brigade start complaining, I do
keep them under control, and on their leads, when walking) :-)

No, not really, although I suppose it could be because it cuts through
Houghton Forest, which I imagine was once rather grander than it is
today.

If I am ever spotted grinning for no reason whatsoever it is because I
have just remembered her saying that!

I don't remember her saying it but I can 'hear' her saying it.
Wonderful.
