(580 mm x 450 mm) uneven Purchased, 1974 NPG 4980(6) © National Portrait Gallery, London Edward I cannot have had particularly fond memories of eastern Sussex after his visit with his father during the 2nd Barons War before the Battle of Lewes (14 May 1264) and its aftermath (the 1st Barons War vs King John was 1215-7). They had entered Sussex from Kent on 2 May and their first experience was an affray on the Kent-Sussex border, after which a severe reprisal took place. Carpenter says, '315 archers were beheaded in the Weald in the parish of St Mary, Ticehurst, in the place called Flimwell in the presence of the king … ' After this Henry III and Prince Edward moved on to the Cistercian Robertsbridge Abbey, where they were ‘entertained’, but they demanded 500 marks (1 mark = 2/3 of one pound or 13s 4d [67p). Converted to a 2016 value one mark might be equal to £650 today) to be paid to Edward to spare the monks’ lives. The next day Abbot Reginald of Brecon and the brothers of the Benedictine Battle Abbey went out in procession to meet the king and give him a loyal welcome, but Henry was still angry and demanded 100 marks from the abbey as he said that some of its tenants had been at Ticehurst. Prince Edward demanded another 40 marks.

  • The Dragon's Teeth of Cripp's Corner
    The Dragon’s Teeth of Cripp’s Corner - The Hidden Evidence of Britain’s Anti-Invasion Defences of 1940 This corner of Southern England is rightly known for its strategic position in defending Britain’s front line from invasion or attack from across the Channel. The visual evidence for this, that spans more than two thousand years, can be seen throughout East Sussex and the Romney Marsh; from the prehistoric hillfort on the Isle of Oxney to the Military Canal on Romney Marsh and its corresponding coastal line of Martello Towers. To the west lies the Roman shore fort of Anderida at Pevensey, Norman castles in Hastings and Lewes, and the later medieval castles at Bodiam and Herstmonceux. The presence of battlefield sites of national importance at Hastings (1066) and Lewes (1264) give silent testimony to the fierce conflicts fought close to our homes in centuries past. But here at Cripp’s Corner there is important evidence too of the most recent anti-invasion fortifications dating back to the Summer of 1940. Hidden amongst the hedgerows is the best-preserved example in Britain of an almost complete and undisturbed tactically important “Stop Line”, hurriedly constructed after the disaster of Dunkirk to defend southern England from an expected German invasion. Hitler’s invasion plan, codenamed Operation Seelöwe or Sealion, was a grim reality in those darkest of days of World War Two, making the threat of invasion very real. Back in 1939 the Germans had identified Camber Sands, Winchelsea, Bexhill and Cuckmere Haven as the most suitable landing sites, should a seaborne invasion of Britain prove necessary.

  • Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) Rother
    Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) Rother Catchment 1 Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans River Rother Catchment - DRAFT Strategic Context The Environment Agency has previously defined the River Basin District catchments in their River Basin Management Plans prepared in response to the European Union’s Water Framework Directive. These river basin catchments are based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.) within a geographical area, and relate to the natural watershed of the main rivers. We are using the same catchment boundaries for our Level 2 DWMPs. A map of the Rother river basin catchment is shown in figure 1. Figure 1: The Rother River Basin Catchment in East Sussex and Kent Based upon the Ordnance Survey map by Southern Water Services Ltd by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. Crown copyright Southern Water Services Limited 1000019426 2 Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans River Rother Catchment - DRAFT Overview of the River Rother Catchment The Rother catchment drains just over 982km2 of land in East Sussex and Kent, with the largest and longest river in the catchment being the River Rother. The catchment has a unique collection of river systems and man-made canals and includes the network of ditches, streams and sewers of the Romney Marsh and the 28 mile Royal Military Canal. The Rother rises near Rotherfield in Wealden district of East Sussex and flows for 35 miles through East Sussex and Kent to its mouth on Rye Bay on the English Channel. Along its course, it is joined by the Rivers Limden and Dudwell at Etchingham, the River Darwell to the north of Robertsbridge, and the Brede and Tillingham Rivers which join it at Rye before it discharges to the sea.
