East Sussex Record Office GUIDE TO RECORDS OF RATING AND TAXATION Introduction This Guide is intended to bring together in summary list form by parish all nominal lists of inhabitants which may be regarded as reasonably comprehensive of their kind. Thus some are full population lists, while others may be restricted to the owners and/or occupiers of land. Usually only the covering dates and major gaps are given. The parishes used as the basis of this guide are either ancient or civil (and not ecclesiastical) as is appropriate to the records in question. Parishes of different kinds may not have identical boundaries, especially in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and any introductory notes about boundary changes should be carefully read. Rating records Except in some ancient boroughs the earliest examples are church rates, which may date from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries. Church Rates became voluntary after 1868, and any later examples will be increasingly incomplete. The parish poor rate was made compulsory in 1563 though records do not normally survive before the seventeenth century. This rate was the basis of all later civil rates. After 1835 it was collected on a district (Poor Law Union) basis, developing in the twentieth century into the district rate. It was administered by district councils after 1925. Rates were based on valuation lists, which were complete reassessments made at intervals, and which are listed separately. Annual, supplementary, valuations, may sometimes be found. Highway rates will generally be encountered in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but there are occasional earlier examples. Taxation records The earliest surviving taxation records are to be found in The National Archives. Of these, particularly useful examples include the lay subsidy returns of 1524-1525, which are printed in Sussex Record Society 56 (ESRO Library); and the hearth tax returns of 1662, 1665-6, and 1670, which are available in ESRO on microfilm (XA 5 series); the 1662 returns for the Rapes of Lewes and Pevensey are published (ESRO Library). References to these are not given in this guide because they are arranged on a hundred/borough (ie tithing) basis, not by parish. The principal series of records listed here are the land tax assessments, which may range in date from 1693 to the 1930s or 1940s, though some places only begin in 1750 or 1780, and some may end in the mid-nineteenth century. The returns for East and West Sussex in 1785 have been published Sussex Record Society 77 and Sussex Record Society 82. Other forms of tax, such as the poll, window or other assessed’ taxes, may occasionally be mentioned, but there is no coherent series of these. A transcript of the 1747 window tax assessments is available on-line at www.sussexrecordsociety.org/home.asp. The ‘Doomsday’ valuation of 1911 is a particularly useful countywide land and property assessment for that year. For further information about how to use it see the introduction to the IRV list. Introduction Tithe maps and apportionments These parish surveys recording the ownership and occupation of land and property, generally between 1836 and 1850, are particularly useful because they locate holdings on large-scale maps. Census returns Except for a few 1801-1831 national census returns, and for some private censuses, the records noted here are all microforms of originals held at The National Archives. Unless otherwise stated, they are all full population listings. There are surname indexes to the 1851 returns for eastern Sussex (ESRO Library) and national indexes to the returns 1841-1901 (www.ancestry.co.uk) and street indexes for Brighton, 1851-1901, Eastbourne, 1891-1901, Hastings, 1881-1901 and Hove, 1891-1901.

  • Highways & Byways in Sussex
    Highways & Byways in Sussex by E. V. Lucas (1904) CHAPTER XXXIV: EASTBOURNE Eastbourne is the most select, or least democratic, of the Sussex watering places. Fashion does not resort thither as to Brighton in the season, but the crowds of excursionists that pour into Brighton and Hastings are comparatively unknown at Eastbourne; which is in a sense a private settlement, under the patronage of the Duke of Devonshire. Hastings is of the people; Brighton has a character almost continental; Eastbourne is select. Lawn tennis and golf are its staple products, one played on the very beautiful links behind the town hard by Compton Place, the residence of the Duke; the other in Devonshire Park. It is also an admirable town for horsemanship. … The Martello towers, which Pitt built during the Napoleonic scare at the beginning of last century, begin at Eastbourne, where the cliffs cease, and continue along the coast into Kent. They were erected probably quite as much to assist in allaying public fear by a tangible and visible symbol of defense as from any idea that they would be a real service in the event of invasion. Many of them have now disappeared. BEACHY HEAD Eastbourne's glory is Beachy Head, the last of the Downs, which stop dead at the town The Beekeeper’s Apprentice Common Core study unit—www.LaurieRKing.com and never reappear in Sussex again. The range takes a sudden turn to the south at Folkington, whence it rolls straight for the sea, Beachy Head being the ultimate eminence. (The name Beachy has, by the way, nothing to do with the beach: it is derived probably from the Normans' description—"beau chef.") About Beachy Head one has the South Downs in perfection: the best turf, the best prospect, the best loneliness, and the best air.

  • REP-7214-001 Chris Lewcock Position Statement on Matter 1 (Pdf)
    Statement of Representations by Christopher Peter Lewcock on behalf of the Bulverhythe Protectors I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Urban and Regional Planning, a Diploma in Development Studies and an MPhil in Land Economy. I worked for a total of eleven years in English Local Authority Planning Departments. I have also worked as a lecturer in the Built Environment at the University of Greenwich. The Localism Act 2011 (the Act) imposes on a local planning authority the duty to cooperate. This is explained further in relevant Central Government Guidance published 6 March 2014 (the Guidance 2014). They are required “… to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis…“(the Act) … “to maximise the effectiveness of Local Plan … preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters” (the Guidance 2014). The duty to cooperate is imposed on the Council preparing their Plan but is equally true in respect of strategic matters of any neighbouring local planning authority. I would submit that Rother District, due to a lack of constructive engagement by Hastings Borough Council, may be unable to comply with this duty to cooperate. My particular concern is with the handling of the Strategic Gap between Bexhill and Hastings. In its Submission Rother District sets out the extent of cooperation on the Hastings urban fringe (paras 4.56 et seq). “Rother and Hastings Councils put forward a joint approach to development in Hastings and Bexhill to advance their shared future prosperity through the respective Core Strategies. This included the establishment of the Countryside Park as well as mutually agreed transport infrastructure improvements, with the now constructed Link Road as the first priority.
