Excerpt from Historical Notes of Withyham, Hartfield and Ashdown Forest: Together With the History of the Sackville Family
These historical facts have been gathered principally from the Harleian, Lansdowne, Burrell, Buckhurst, and Knole mss., the books and notes Of the late Earl De La Warr, the Sussex Archaeological Collection, Horsfield's, Lower's, and Shobert's Histories of Sussex, so kindly searched by J. C. Stenning, Esq., of Steel Cross House, near Tunbridge Wells; Bridge man's Sketch, and Brady's History of Knole, the Rev. G. Hennessey's book of Rectors and Vicars of Sussex, and the Rev. F. Darling's Notes on Ashdown Forest. I am indebted to many for the photographs, some of which have been taken from engravings most kindly lent by Lord Sackville and the Honble. Mrs. Sackville-west.
