He had been talking to Mr. R. J. Davis of White Cottage in Friars Road who recalled that when his home was redecorated a preventive officer's diary was found written on the wall. It recorded where he had been on each day to prevent smuggling and also revealed that the principal smuggling watch was kept from the top of the ruins of the Greyfriars Chapel nearby. Mr. Davis told Mr. Homan that the diary was found, 'a good many years ago'. Friars Road with White Cottage on the left. The girl in red is Lucy Goldie, W. M. Homan's youngest grandchild PAGE 2 WINCHELSEA’S PLACE IN THE ANNALS OF SMUGGLING Smugglers in Prison These pages are from the Winchelsea Gaol Book commenced in 1828 where full details about each prisoner are recorded by the gaoler. The first sixteen entries are those of smugglers whose offence is listed as 'Breech of Revenue.' The trial of these men took place in this room with the mayor and jurats sitting as magistrates. Their sentences were served in the cells downstairs. The cells as such no longer exist but if you look to the left of the steps that lead up to the Museum (Upper Court Hall) you will see the best remaining evidence that the lower floor of this building was a prison.

  • 1 Icklesham Parish Community Land Trust Statement Registration Of
    Icklesham Parish Community land Trust Statement Registration of Local Interest Icklesham Parish Community Land Trust (IPCLT) is registered with the Financial Services Authority as a Community benefit Society (No 7470) and has been set up to provide low cost rental and shared ownership housing in the parish of Icklesham, Rother. Icklehsham Parish CLT is keen to update and monitor local housing needs in order that local households are given the opportunity to register their interest in affordable housing at an early stage. This brings the following benefits:- The Benefits 1) Households identified in housing need are expected to complete and return a Registration of Interest form (attached). IPCLT is then able to identify prospective tenants early on and prioritise those households when the houses are available for nomination. This will ensure that those local residents identified in housing need at the outset stand a better chance of being allocated housing over households joining the register at a later stage. 2) IPCLT will keep and monitor an on-going register of local housing need that works alongside the usual Housing Register. This will result in future voids being filled quickly from those on the local housing register. 3) The development can be tailored to meet the specified rural housing need of the Parish as identified by the register of local housing need. Use of your personal information – IPCLT Privacy Policy We are requesting the following information in order to inform our understanding of local needs for affordable housing. This information will be securely held by IPCLT. The details you provide may be shared with Action in rural Sussex, Hastoe Housing Association and Rother District Council with whom we will have a data sharing agreement and will only be used to contact those interested in renting or buying one of the proposed affordable homes.

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Eastbourne to Camber Report EBC 7: Winchelsea Beach to Camber Sands Part 7.1: Introduction Start Point: Winchelsea Beach (Grid reference 591846 116111) End Point: Camber Sands (Grid reference 596518 118552) Relevant Maps: EBC 7a to EBC 7d 7.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Eastbourne and Camber. 7.1.2 This report covers length EBC 7 of the stretch, which is the coast between Winchelsea Beach and Camber Sands. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 7.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
