Richard W. Bagshaw. “Roman Roads”. Shire Archaeology 1979. On page 19 he mentions the Tabula Peutingeriana as a thirteenth century copy of a third century road map. Unfortunately I failed to make a note of where I saw the comment of Pompeii being uncovered in 1748 and the discovery that the map showed villas and palaces. Page 19 and 20 for details of the De Situ map.
“Hurstpierpoint, kind and charitable”, edited by Ian Nelson, gives the licence date of 1835 for the Turnpike Road now Cuckfield Road and much more information.
“Hurstpierpoint in old picture postcards” by Ray Packham is a charming book of postcards collected by his son Roger and David Robinson. On p4 he states Butting Hill gave its name to the Hundred in the Rape of Lewes. At the time of the Domesday Survey Buttinghill Hundred consisted of Hurst, Clayton, Clayton Wickham and Keymer. This confirms the principle of centuria to Rapes.
In June 91, Adams & Reimers, 213, High Street, kindly gave me an appointment to photograph the 1736 map of Washbrooks by Thomas Pointin, then Kevin Ardargh mentioned that he had another map of “The Whole Danny Estate”, which I photographed rather hastily. It is the first map of this booklet. The “Old Maps” are reproduced with the permission of the County Archivist of East Sussex, copyright reserved.
