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.

Grass Cutting Schedule – 2021 Last updated 16/04/21 This schedule shows current scheduled dates for grass cutting. Please note that these dates can change due to weather and will be updated on a weekly basis. Some towns and parishes have opted to self-deliver their grass cutting programme for 2021, as indicated below. If you require information for those towns and parishes who carry out their own grass cutting, then you would need to contact them directly. East Sussex Highways currently provide 2 standard grass cuts for each town and parish. Those that have 6 grass cuts have paid for this as an additional service.

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.

Charles Alan Wood (Sh '36) Before I Begin, Bridget and I Would Like To
Charles Alan Wood (Sh ’36) Before I begin, Bridget and I would like to welcome you all and thank you for being here today to celebrate Bridget’s and my father’s life. It’s good that so many are here - though not totally surprising, for my father was a person with a great ability for drawing people together – just as he has done and is doing so successfully today. So how does he manage this? What makes so many of us want to be here celebrating his life today? No doubt we all have different reasons, but I would like to start off by considering some of the ideas and principles which drove him on – which I believe underpinned the affable and generous host he was to become. As well as a generous host, I would like to take this opportunity of celebrating him as a person of some steel and determination – for whom sociability was a conviction, as well as a natural gift. The younger son of a miller with strong Quaker principles, and a gentler mother more in touch with the culture of her times, he was sent to schools which broadly represented progressive alternatives to traditional Public Schools – the Downs and Bryanston - both run by charismatic individuals with eccentric and sometimes anti-establishment views. For both of these headmasters – Geoffrey Hoyland at the Downs and Thorold Coade at Bryanston, he retained a life-long regard. One rather surprising legacy of my father’s time at these schools was his discovery of Withyham, and I will allow him to speak for himself on this subject, quoting a short memo which Bridget and I discovered just a few days ago: Withyham first came into my life in 1934.

The walk can be divided into two shorter walks: Villages and Poohsticks (10½ or 9½ km=6½ or 5½ miles) is the twisty northern walk. Clumps and Sandpits (10 km=6 miles) is the breezy southern walk which takes in the wilder spaces and the other Pooh sites. There are a few nettles in the northern walk near Hartfield and some brambles a little later, making shorts inadvisable.

The History of Nutley by Colin Hobbs Pdf File
The History of Nutley by Colin Hobbs. Nutley comprised mainly the manors of Duddleswell and Maresfield together with Masketts, a member of the latter, Courtlands alias Newenham which had some 20 acres lying over from Fletching to the south of Fords Green, and an acre or two at Pricketts Hatch belonging to the Fletching manor of Tarring Peverel. Also a three acre piece of the Withyham manor of Fiscaridge which lay to the south of Bell Lane near to its junction with the main road. The parish of Maresfield does not figure in the Domesday Book although most of its neighbours do. It is though, inconceivable that our Saxon ancestors did not penetrate the wilderness a little further on to Nutley. Indeed the name Sale, a suffix, occurs in old documents in a wide band from Nutley Street westwards to and including the present Hole and Alchorns Farm. This is the latter day form of the Saxon word gesell, meaning a shelter for pig drovers. Down Street runs south in an almost straight line to Isfield where it joins the road to the Downs at South Malling, an early settlement of the South Saxons. This is undoubtedly one of the ancient drof ways leading into the Weald. Another was via Mark Street to Fletching and the many villages in the Downs west of Lewes. A further track leads from Horsted Keynes via the Woolpit Oak to the forest at Pricketts Hatch. The Weald was settled from the Downlands at an early stage but the outliers were taxed with the parent manor.
