Maybe it is not W always bright and sunny, but perhaps more often it is, and days are noticeably longer. Surely it must be the start of Spring. HURRAY! Each season has its attractions, and I do enjoy each for what it has to offer. But, I must admit, Spring is the season I enjoy most of all. I guess it is the promise of what is to come: new beginnings; new growth in the garden and the countryside around us. It makes me feel good to be alive. So, it's time to rise from Winter Hibernation and get out and about! Yes, time to go visiting places again - time to go re-visiting our National Trust properties - and to go exploring new ones. (I know many of us enjoy visiting in the Winter, but how much better they look in the Spring and Summer, as the gardens and countryside take on their fresh new look) Welcome, to your Spring-Summer Newsletter! But first, I must emphasise the now boringly regular plea for volunteers to join our committee. Those of you who attended the AGM will know that Marion, our Chairman, and Cathy, our Membership Secretary, will be standing down in February next year. We have had a vacancy for an Outings Organiser for two years - during which time we have struggled to arrange trips. Without an imminent influx of help, it is difficult to see how our Association will be able to continue for much longer. Surely none of us want our demise. Please help! Now, moving on - once again, we report within on the activities we have enjoyed since the last Newsletter, and tell you about our Association offerings for the next few months. Please do join us in as many as you can. Our society is all about enjoying ourselves whilst raising funds for the National Trust. So, on with the show! Let's all enjoy Spring & Summer of 2017, with the National Trust!

The latest is Ann Rolfe who at present is unwell. We wish her a speedy recovery. I am also pleased to report that all others are back ‘in harness’ and are now enjoying good health. The Spring lunch, at the Powder Mills Hotel was once again an enormous success. The event, organised as usual by Ann Rolfe and Ros Adkins, will be repeated again this year on Saturday 22 April. The Lectures have been an outstanding success, evident by the increase in numbers attending. Maggie Brown certainly has the ‘knack’ of choosing inspiring subjects, and rounded off the season with a jolly Christmas party with performances by the Udimore Vocality Choir and the Rye Ukulele Group. Thank you Maggie, I am sure we are all looking forward to our season of lectures this year. The January lecture ‘Medical Detection Dogs’ raised £294 from those who attended and a further £100.00 from Maureen Iliffe on behalf of her charity group which gives annually to the charity of their choice. We have held three Outings during the past year. The first to Hawkinge and Capel-le-Ferne, organised by Cathy and Laton Frewen and Ros Adkins, a wonderful day reminiscing and thinking of the thousands of service men and women who made the supreme sacrifice for our country. The second trip was to Buckingham Palace, the theme ‘Fashioning a Reign’. I was unable to go, but I understand it was a great day out. The annual Bluewater trip again attracted a full coach. Many came home with empty pockets but were well compensated by an enjoyable day. Theatre Trips have been poorly supported, so much so that we have reluctantly had to cancel all that had been arranged. This has been a great disappointment to Lovat, who puts so much effort and research into the - 5 - planning. Fortunately, we do have one in the pipeline: ‘Funny Girl’ at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury on Thursday 4 May. There are still seats available so please see Ros and book yours. The Walks organised by Phil Maynard are becoming so popular that they have reached saturation point. Whatever the elements throw at this stoic group, they sally forth, but always enjoy a meal and a quiz at a local pub. To Phil’s credit, he has gained us many new members and raised several hundred pounds towards our funds. Thank you Phil and Phil. To the other extreme, for those who enjoy a more relaxing afternoon, why not come to the newly formed ‘Music Club’? George and Val Terry have kindly organised these at their home. Those of us who have been have enjoyed a variety of classical music. The rare opportunity of just sitting and listening has greatly enhanced our appreciation of the classics. During the interval we are treated to delicious cakes and a cup of tea. George and Val, we much appreciate your kind hospitality, thank you. The annual Golf Day at Sedlescombe Golf Club, was again a great success. Although the weather could have been a little kinder we were able to attract the optimum number of players and raise a record of just over £1000. We have planned this year to hold the event on Friday 18 August. The Meet and Greet and the Quiz at Beckley were not quite so well attended, but those who were able to go enjoyed both occasions. Our Newsletters again have been the envy of other National Trust Associations in our area, as was evident when John and I attended the Area meeting last spring. Praise was extended to John for his publishing skills (much deserved) and to Phil Maynard and Philip Romani for our up to date information on the NT Website, our Facebook Page and our information on Google. IT skills are not my strong point, so we much appreciate the efforts of those who keep us up to date in the 21st century. I cannot conclude my report without mentioning our Membership Secretary Cathy Frewen, who I am pleased to say has welcomed many new members during the past year. We have reached a total of 276. So far, only 150 have renewed their membership this year. Subscriptions are due in January each - 6 - year. We do make some allowance, so please see Cathy if you have not yet renewed. We would hate to delete you from our list. Our Secretary, Rita Kirk is the most skilful and efficient Secretary that I have ever encountered. The minutes from our meetings are so precise. Rita, what would we do without you. Thank you. You will be receiving the report from the Treasurer at the conclusion of mine. Julie we would like to thank you for keeping our finances in such good order. Our aim is to raise funds to help support our local National Trust properties.

  • Adherents from the Rape of Hastings and Pevensey Lowey of the Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 Who Were Pardonned
    Adherents from the Rape of Hastings and Pevensey Lowey of the Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 who were pardonned In June 1450 Jack Cade became leader of an originally Kentish rebellion of small property holders penalised by high taxes. The rebellion spread to involve men from neighbouring counties, especially Sussex. Cade assumed the name John Mortimer and demanded the removal of several of the King’s chief ministers and the recall of Richard, Duke of York. The rebel forces defeated a royal army at Sevenoaks, Kent, on 18 June, and went on to London. There the rebels executed the lord treasurer, James Fiennes. A degree of lawlessness followed and Londoners drove the rebels from the city on 5-6 July. The government persuaded many of the rebels to disperse by offering pardons, but Cade continued his activities. He was chased down, wounded and captured at Cade Street near Heathfield, Sussex, on 12 July, and died of his wounds whilst being transported to London. The list below is of those from the Rape of Hastings and Lowey of Pevensey who had taken part in or supported the rebellion and were granted pardons. It gives a good indication of how widespread this rebellion was. It attracted adherents from across the social spectrum and involved whole communities. Undoubtedly there was no way the normal severe capital retributions could be used to punish all those involved or whole communities would have been decimated and made unproductive, but some ringleaders were singled out and executed.

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.

  • East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction
    eastsussex.gov.uk East Sussex Record Office Report of the County Archivist April 2008 to March 2009 Introduction The year was again dominated by efforts towards achieving The Keep, the new Historical Resource Centre, but the core work of the Record Office continued more busily than ever and there was much of which to be proud. In July 2008 we took in our ten-thousandth accession, something of a milestone in the office’s own history of almost 60 years. An application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for £4.9million towards the costs of The Keep was submitted by the Record Office on behalf of the capital partners, East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and the University of Sussex, in September. This represented around 20% of the anticipated costs of the building, since the partners remain committed to find the remainder. In December we learned our fate: that we had been unsuccessful. Feedback from the HLF indicated that ours had been an exemplary application, and one which they would have liked to have supported but, in a year when the effect of diverting HLF money to the Olympics was being felt, it was thought necessary to give precedence to some very high-profile projects. We were, of course, disappointed, but determined not to be deterred, and the partners agreed to pursue ways forward within the existing funding. Because it would further hold up the project, adding to inflation costs, but give no guarantee of success, we decided not to re-apply to the HLF, and by the end of the financial year were beginning to look at options for a less expensive building.
