Abstract:The number of mills in the Eastbourne Borough Council area should be of no surprise when we consider the community's dependence on an agrarian economy since Saxon times and the extensive prehistoric evidence of field systems and associated finds of grain storage pits, quern fragments and grain-drying ovens. A glance at the Eastbourne Tithe Map of 1842 shows field after field of arable and pasture-land and a handful of farms in what was good corn country and also by then, extensive sheep pasture. In 1842, the parish covered slightly more than 4,000 acres, whereas modern Eastbourne covers nearly 6,500 acres, having expanded into the parishes of Eastdean, Jevington, Willingdon and Westham during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
In 1980, a list of 'Mills of the Eastbourne Borough Council Area' (Stevens 1980) was compiled in which an attempt was made to catalogue the salient facts of each mill, to clarify its position and record sufficient information so that confusion might be avoided.
