Forest Row Men Who Died in the Great War
Forest Row Men who died in the Great War A casual reader of any village war memorial would assume that the list was complete, local, and represented families who had lived in the area for generations. In fact, research into the World War I War Memorial at Forest Row shows that this was far from true. Also, the Memorial and Book of Remembrance in Holy Trinity Church are not exhaustive, as other war dead are buried in the local cemetery. The Memorial Book is a thing of beauty, written in an elegant hand, in red and black ink, recording each man’s name, rank and number; regiment; where, when and how killed; parents’ names; birthplace; where buried; and the name of the informant. Only 24 of the 65 men remembered were born in the parish; of these, a mere 11 had spent most of their lives in the village before going to war. Another 10 were born in nearby parishes: Withyham, Hartfield, Horsted Keynes, East Grinstead and Felbridge. These were Albert Victor Brand, Raymond Cox, Thomas James Draper, Frederick Robert Edwards, Archibald Frederick Gladman, Frederick Holmwood, Albert Mills, James Simmonds, Philip Tomsett and Frederick Percy Webber. The 11 purely local men were: Edward James Luxford, house painter; Albert Mitchell, golf caddie and cousin of Abe Mitchell the famous golfer; Harry Page, builder’s labourer; Cyril Charles Robinson, clerk at Magnet’s Works, and son of the butler at Ashdown Park; Robert Charles Robson, himself a butler; brothers Alfred Jesse and William Thomas Sands, messenger boy with the General Post Office and apprentice draper respectively; Jack Frederick Sippetts; Albert Ernest Standen Tomsett, an apprentice at the cycle works; Albert James Upton and Eric Gordon Waters, electrical engineer.

Forest Row: Houses on the Forest Edge
Houses on the Forest Edge Vivien Hill 1 Contents 3 Introduction 4 Pavilion Cottages 5 Oak Tree Cottage 6 Arts and Crafts Style 7 Laura House 8 Hillview 9 Bryle House 10 William Wells and the 1851 Census 11 Rural Housing for the “Respectable Working Classes” 2 Introduction In October 2015 the Ashdown Forest Research Group held its first exhibition at the Ashdown Forest Research Centre, Wych Cross. The topics covered by the exhibition reflected the diverse nature of the group’s interests: local families affected by the Great War; the barns of the Ashdown Forest Centre, their use, history and construction; traditional forest occupations; the development of turnpike roads around Ashdown Forest; and houses on the forest edge. We have now taken the exhibits that were shown for each topic (photographs and accompanying text) and compiled them into booklets. The present booklet concerns houses on the forest edge. Prepared by Vivien Hill, it focuses on the development of housing in the late nineteenth century that took place on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest in the Highgate area of Forest Row. 3 Pavilion Cottages Three cottages built by Job Luxford in the 1890s show how it was still possible to encroach on the edge of Ashdown Forest. The land was probably just inside the then boundary. It was now cheaper to bring in Welsh slates for roofing than to use local handmade tiles. Each cottage had a well in the kitchen and a privy in the garden. Pavilion Cottages were built as two up, two down workers' dwellings and would give a small but steady return for rent.

Withyham and the Five Hundred Acre Wood
point your feet on a new path Withyham and the Five Hundred Acre Wood Distance: 7 km=4½ miles easy walking Region: East Sussex Date written: 29-oct-2019 Author: Stivaletti Last update: 11-jul-2021 Refreshments: Withyham Map: Explorer 135 (Ashdown Forest) but the map in this guide should suffice Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Parkland, green meadows, woodland, views In Brief This short walk through the best of the rolling country near Ashdown Forest includes some of stretches already familiar with regular users of this site. But it finds other paths which are less known. ? In autumn there were no nettles or undergrowth worth a mention on this walk, but in high summer the undergrowth will be much denser, requiring ? sensible clothing. Boots are necessary in the wetter months, but about 70% of the walk is on surfaced drives, making walking shoes or trainers a viable alternative if the weather is fairly clement and the season dry. With hardly any main roads, your dog will be very welcome on this walk. The walk begins at Withyham , East Sussex, postcode TN7 4BD .. For more details, see at the end of this text ( Getting There ). In the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, the Five Hundred Acre Wood was close to Cotchford Farm, near Hartfield, which A.A. Milne and his family rented for the summer. But in the book it becomes just the “Hundred-Acre Wood” or simply “The Wood” and Christopher Robin and Pooh go there regularly because in the middle of the wood is Owl's house.

Newsletter – Spring 2021
Newsletter – Spring 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN The last year has been an incredible test of resilience and few of us have remained untouched in some way by COVID- 19. Whilst the vaccine offers much hope of a return to normality, the virus remains, and I urge people to be sensible and to continue to follow the NHS and Government advice. What an excellent job the NHS has performed over the last year. We are all grateful for the hard work and dedication of our NHS employees. On that note, I would like to offer on behalf of the Hartfield community our thanks and very best wishes to Dr Wolfle and Dr Whichello in their retirement. Our appreciation and congratulations are also owed to Francis Whetstone who, after many years of loyal service, has said he will be stepping down as our representative on East Sussex County Council. The Parish Council wishes him a happy and healthy retirement, not having to worry about potholes or budgets! Who would have thought 12 months ago that Zoom, Teams or Face Time would be the media that allowed us to link up with family, friends and colleagues? Although we have endured nearly a whole year of lockdown or social restrictions, I am pleased to say that the business of the Parish Council has continued unabated, thanks to the hard work of my fellow councillors and the Clerk. My final message is one of continued vigilance, patience and hope - please continue to look out for yourselves, neighbours and friends. Giles Horner Chairman of Hartfield Parish Council PARISH COUNCIL MEETINGS AND OFFICE OPENING In light of Boris Johnson’s message on 22nd February and the plan for a re-opening of society from early summer the Annual Parish meeting will not take place in April, however, we are in the meantime, inviting comments on our website and strategic plan.
