Abstract
The Sussex Weald is an area where many small farms survived into the nineteenth
century, and their
fate in Chiddingly parish between I8OO and 186o is explored. They thrived up to
1815; between I816
and I842, nearly half were lost, many of the remainder changed from
owner-occupancy to tenancy,
and a few additional ones appeared on newly-enclosed land; after 1842, changes
were few...
The Chiddingly Boar. A small
gilded-silver cap badge, dating back to approx 1485, and found in Chiddingly in
1999. The item is in the British Museum, but under the Data Protection Act
the Museum cannot release details of who finds objects (unless the finder has
allowed their name to be published in the annual Treasure Report). The find spot
cannot be disclosed either without landowner and finder permission. So it
is not known who found it or where. The British Museum records it was
found in Chiddingly, East Sussex; because nothing has ever been said about it in
this Parish it is possible it was found in the other Chiddingly near West
Hoathly, but that is in West Sussex. See www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe/t/the_chiddingly_boar.aspx
