Review in Sussex Notes and Queries, May 1934:Village histories vary from a pamphlet to a full-bodied tome, and there are few of them that fulfil their object better than this handy little volume. It is accurate without being pedantic, full of information and yet not too dry. It follows the usual lines as all such histories must, but it is not so full of historical lessons that there is no room for the local human touch which makes the whole world kin.
Miss Tudor is to be congratulated on the result of work which must have its foundation in many years of intimate personal knowledge and love of the place described. Still more is Fernhurst to be congratulated on having a recorder so sympathetic and well-informed to tell its tale in such an excellent way. [There are some good illustrations by R. Gammon].
When Lord Ponsonby broadcast recently on the value of small things in this day of enormities some of us were aware that he alluded to this small book as an instance in point, though he mentioned no name or title.
Fernhurst lies in a remote corner of Sussex, but the interest of its history will compare to advantage with that of many a more prominent place.
