This land was held of the manor of Allington, one of several manors owning land within the parish of Barcombe. Both tenements originated as grants made from Markstakes Common in 1661 and 1665 respectively. The distribution of settlement here had already changed significantly by 1873 (OS) and the eventual construction of the railway line changed the topography of the landscape to some extent, so it is difficult to reconcile the tithe map data with what is on the ground today. What is clear is that none of the earlier cottages survive. It is also difficult to reconcile the claim that part of the land associated with the smaller tenement lay in Chailey since it does not lie on the parish boundary. No explanation for the anomaly can be offered. By 1873 dwellings had been built on Orchard Mead (TA180) and Hovel Plat (TA 173), presumably to replace the older abandoned dwellings that lay further to the east away from the road (TA 175, 154). |
