Well if you ever get the chance it's well worth it, a beautiful view of the Downs and the Church is quite interesting inside too.  :) And there is a lovely old pub just opposite that does lovely lunches  :)

In that case you can drive through Punnetts Town, it's only a mile down the road.  I say drive through because there's nothing to stop for  ::) ::) ::) except another 2 rather nice foodie pubs  :) :)

Hi Kerry,

Punnetts Town is named after my ancestor James Punnett!

will have to take someone with me trying to think who would want to wander round a cemetery with me again after these two mishaps!

the other day i went to Newhaven cemetery to look for a few graves i knew where there, i found 3 but couldn't find 3 others
 
so i asked the groundsman where the thingy would be not the grave the thingy after they had been cremated and interred he said what year so i said 1972/3 i think so he looked throughthe book from 1971-1974 and could not find it i said thank you for looking

after i left i rang my mum on my mobile ( i didn't think it was right to ring her from the cemetery)  and said i could not find grandads grave (not her dad) she said where have you been i said round and round newhaven cemetery and she said well you won't find him there he was cremated at woodvale, woodingdean/Brighton.

i wouldn't mind so much but in April i walked round and round Lewes looking for him and she said well you won't find him there if hes anywhere he will be in newhaven.

and i still didn't find my great Gran's or her sisters grave and then my mum said that when 'uncle' Richard died his ashes were put in with my great Gran, i said i thought he was just the lodger - thats what i had been told, my mum said he was more that just a lodger.

put it down to experience!

anyway thats straying wide from the subject of the original listing, do you have any of the martyrs in your tree?
i don't  :D

I haven't found any yet but bearing in mind quite a considerable amount of my ancestors came from the Warbleton, Heathfield area I wouldn't be surprised that if they were somewhere on the tree they might have been neighbours ::) ::)

How interesting!

I have a Hosman ... my 4xG Grandfather Thomas Nailard had a sister Lydia who married a George Hosman in Mayfield 1790.
I think I'll take a look at Alexander Hosman at some time, could be interesting to add to the family history if I can find a connection.

Lol Kerry I think we have had discussions before about East Sussex ancestors, large families in small communities ::)....we must all be related somewhere along the line :D

Well I have to say suey when I read the Sussex boards, I keep thinking where do I know that name from or that name seems familiar......  Just had the feeling with the name Nailard. 

I think as we study these small villages in depth you get to know most of the inhabitants or so it feels  ::) ::) ::)
