The position of this tenement, immediately adjacent to the known outlier of Rodmell at Spithurst, as well as its form, which accords with an enclosure from manorial waste, combine to suggest that it should be the Rodmell tenement identified below. However it is difficult to account for the different owner named in the tithe apportionment. It is possible he was leasing the premises at that date. Clearly the newer cottages on the land were built c1870. The descent of the tenement from Henry Holden to his son nicely illustrates the manor custom of borough English where manorial tenements passed to the youngest son (or failing a son the youngest daughter). |
