Family History
31st July 2007
Shelley Jebb:
Lucknow Place is now a car park in Fishmarket Road. The cottages were either lost during the war or were knocked down. Clifton Place probably suffered the same fate!
Can anyone help me?

Playden Church
2nd March 2007
Shelley Jebb:
As St Michael's is a place of worship it is available for all acts of worship. Whether you can be married there depends on whether you live in the parish or not. See this website for info about being married in church: http://www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents/weddings. If you do live in the parish why not turn up at a service one Sunday morning and have a chat with the Vicar?

Message for Brian Hatter
26th September 2006
Shelley Jebb:
Brian Hatter: Hill House Hospital, formerly the Rye Union Workhouse was built in 1844 on Rye Hill and is different from the nearby Rye, Winchelsea and District Memorial Hospital (now Rye Memorial Care Centre)built by private donation in 1922.
In 1929 the workhouse was renamed 'The Retreat' and run as a Public Assistance Institution by the County Council. That has now closed and the buildings have been converted into homes. There is still on the site a small home for disabled people I believe. I should imagine that any records will now be in the County Records Office at Lewes. Hope this helps.

Family History of Hilder
8th January 2006
Shelley Jebb:
John Pelham: I have asked Jo Kirkham, local historian, about the naming of Hilders Cliff. This is what she says:
'There was an important family called Hilder in Rye - in the records from 1813 to c.1900. One of these, I believe , paid for improving the road and putting up the railing's and lights - (originally gas) - on Hilder's Cliff.'
Hope this helps!
