Abstract:Keen historians of the Victorian age will welcome the publication of a diary written by Sussex farmer Frederick Weekes of Brighton and Hurstpierpoint. His diary written between 1937 and 1852 provides snapshots of rural life as Sussex emerged from the Georgian era to embrace the Victorian age.
Edited for publication by Ian Nelson and Tony Bower of the Hurst History Study Group, Weekes' notes will be of particular interest to genealogists because they include references to many of the tradesmen living in and around Mid Sussex.
