Page 2 From the Editor Welcome to the April edition of the St Philip’s Magazine. Firstly you may have noticed that this is a completely free edition. If you need more copies then they can be collected at the Burwash Stores, Broad Oak Stores or from a box in the Lych Gate at Burwash Common, whilst stocks last. Due to the problems with the Coronavirus (Covid­19) all of our churches are currently closed to try to slow down the spread of the virus.This means that this month’s magazine does not carry any services for the foreseeable future. There is, in the centre of the magazine, a 16 page pull­out booklet to help you with Home Worship. Please use this as often as you need to. Much of our usual content has not been available for this month’s edition but I am hopeful that it will be back over the next couple of months or so. There is however an interesting article about Beatrix Potter on the Gardener’s Corner page on page 11. Many regulars have still been included namely The Pavilion News, After Eight Club, Residents Association, Seagulls over Burwash, Snooker results and Burwash Flower Arrangers. Jim and Mary Smith are currently at their mission in Ghana and Jim has produced two more articles under the Serving Africa headings. These have become regular reports and will continue to be in the magazine for at least the next 3 months. Peter Thompson Editor Tel: 01435 882856 e‐mail: [email protected] .uk Facebook.com/.

Here are a just a few. The church is usually open during daylight hours. There's a copy of the electoral roll in the church to help you pray for others. Jim and Mary Smith have small groups of people who pray regularly for any who needs healing. Every three months Jim and Mary take the current list to a well­known places of healing and pray privately for the list. The next list is now open and they will be praying at the Firle Beacon. [email protected]. Page 8 VIEW FROM THE VICARAGE I make no apologies here – I found the original of this on Facebook, that repository of fake news, bogus ‘facts’ and utter garbage. But this does seem to be correctly attributed to Martin Luther, the monk who kickstarted the Reformation. He lived in the time of regular outbreaks of plague and wrote this to a friend who wanted to know the Christian response. It was subsequently published. Unfortunately, the English text is copyrighted by a US publisher but here’s a summary in 21st Century bullet points instead of 16th Century flowing prose: • He begins by praying for God’s protection • He will keep clean and both take and give the recommended medicine • He avoids places where his presence is not needed, lest he become infected and then pass it on to another who might then die • But he will not avoid going to places when a neighbour needs his presence • He accepts that this disease might be the way he will die but he is not afraid of God’s judgement if he has done these things • He declares this to be a proper faith – fearing God, being neither brash nor foolhardy and not tempting God That last point he makes reminds me of Jesus’ time in the desert, which we commemorate as the season of Lent. In the depths of hunger, he hears the devil telling him he can jump off the highest tower on the temple in Jerusalem because, and here he quotes from the bible, “angels will protect you.” Jesus retorts with another passage, “Do not put God to the test.” But, when it was needed, he went to the cross and he died. Travelling in India for the first time was a surreal experience. My driver was on the wrong side of a motorway, doing well over 70mph and driving straight towards the oncoming headlights of two trucks travelling side by side with only a couple of feet gap between them.

    World War One: the Deaths of Those Associated with Battle and District

    WORLD WAR ONE: THE DEATHS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH BATTLE AND DISTRICT This article cannot be more than a simple series of statements, and sometimes speculations, about each member of the forces listed. The Society would very much appreciate having more information, including photographs, particularly from their families. CONTENTS Page Introduction 1 The western front 3 1914 3 1915 8 1916 15 1917 38 1918 59 Post-Armistice 82 Gallipoli and Greece 83 Mesopotamia and the Middle East 85 India 88 Africa 88 At sea 89 In the air 94 Home or unknown theatre 95 Unknown as to identity and place 100 Sources and methodology 101 Appendix: numbers by month and theatre 102 Index 104 INTRODUCTION This article gives as much relevant information as can be found on each man (and one woman) who died in service in the First World War. To go into detail on the various campaigns that led to the deaths would extend an article into a history of the war, and this is avoided here. Here we attempt to identify and to locate the 407 people who died, who are known to have been associated in some way with Battle and its nearby parishes: Ashburnham, Bodiam, Brede, Brightling, Catsfield, Dallington, Ewhurst, Mountfield, Netherfield, Ninfield, Penhurst, Robertsbridge and Salehurst, Sedlescombe, Westfield and Whatlington. Those who died are listed by date of death within each theatre of war. Due note should be taken of the dates of death particularly in the last ten days of March 1918, where several are notional. Home dates may be based on registration data, which means that the year in 1 question may be earlier than that given.
  • Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On

    Roads in the Battle District: an Introduction and an Essay On

    ROADS IN THE BATTLE DISTRICT: AN INTRODUCTION AND AN ESSAY ON TURNPIKES In historic times travel outside one’s own parish was difficult, and yet people did so, moving from place to place in search of work or after marriage. They did so on foot, on horseback or in vehicles drawn by horses, or by water. In some areas, such as almost all of the Battle district, water transport was unavailable. This remained the position until the coming of the railways, which were developed from about 1800, at first very cautiously and in very few districts and then, after proof that steam traction worked well, at an increasing pace. A railway reached the Battle area at the beginning of 1852. Steam and the horse ruled the road shortly before the First World War, when petrol vehicles began to appear; from then on the story was one of increasing road use. In so far as a road differed from a mere track, the first roads were built by the Roman occupiers after 55 AD. In the first place roads were needed for military purposes, to ensure that Roman dominance was unchallenged (as it sometimes was); commercial traffic naturally used them too. A road connected Beauport with Brede bridge and ran further north and east from there, and there may have been a road from Beauport to Pevensey by way of Boreham Street. A Roman road ran from Ore to Westfield and on to Sedlescombe, going north past Cripps Corner. There must have been more. BEFORE THE TURNPIKE It appears that little was done to improve roads for many centuries after the Romans left.

    349 Sunday Bus – Latest (Good!) News (A Message from Campaign for Better Transport East Sussex): the Sunday Bus Linking Hastin

    349 Sunday Bus – latest (good!) news (A message from Campaign for Better Transport East Sussex): The Sunday bus linking Hastings – Sedlescombe – Staplecross – Bodiam – Sandhurst – Hawkhurst and Cranbrook will continue to run ‘through to the end of September’. This good news was confirmed last week by Stagecoach. The ‘summer’ Sunday service re-started in March 2017 after a gap of three years and the passenger numbers through last summer were ‘encouraging’. A much longer period had elapsed since the last winter service ran.To the credit of all parties, following last summer’s service reintroduction, the 349 has run right through this winter (as I write, temperatures have dived from spring levels in mid February to sub-arctic conditions as we reach March!). Users have been hugely grateful. Passengers on the Sunday bus have included individuals and small groups of all ages, making journeys for a whole range of purposes: going to work, for walks, lunches, to visitor attractions, church, visiting friends and families – with a good sprinkling of domestic and international tourists. There are clearly ‘two way flows’ – both within the urban area of Hastings, and to, from and within the country areas right to the High Weald villages and towns of East Sussex and Kent. In all seasons, there were some passengers who took advantage of the connection in Cranbrook with Arriva service 5 to travel on towards Maidstone. The numbers of trips taken evidence the usefulness of the route to many, especially those who do not or cannot drive. Clearly, the main attractor on the route is Bodiam Castle (National Trust), while Bodiam station on the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway is also a draw: these two between them attract around 300,000 visitors a year.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.
