review in Sussex Notes and Queries, November 1938:Mrs. Ridley has written a fluent and picturesque account of the Priest House for the use of visitors to that very charming structure, which is one of the latest additions to the buildings in the keeping of the Sussex Archaeological Trust. The house is the generous gift of Mr. J. Godwin King to the Trust after he had re-conditioned it completely.
West Hoathly and its friends have contributed freely to the collection of local and other objects which form a small museum and add to the interest of the building itself.
Mrs. Ridley's account of the later history of the house is based very largely on documents still existing, but she might have difficulty in substantiating her statement as to monks in residence at what is, after all, truthfully described as the Priest's house.
