The registers of the parish of Woodmancote in the county of Sussex: Baptisms, burials and marriages, 1582-1812, edited by Rev. H. Sykes-Maclean, rector of Woodmancote, published 1932 (pamphlet, viii + 180 pp., published by the author) accessible at: W.S.R.O. [Lib 19] & West Sussex Libraries & East Sussex Libraries

The Rector of Woodmancote, the Rev. H. Sykes-Maclean, has joined the army of those who have spent time, money and trouble in transcribing the Registers of his parish and so preserving them for all time. He has produced a very admirable volume of clear print and good paper, containing all entries from 1582 to 1812, with lists of Incumbents, Churchwardens and other parish officials. The entries have been compared with the Bishop's transcripts, which adds to the value of the book.
We recommend the purchase of this volume to all those who desire to have a complete reference library of Sussex publications. It is more than a mere collection of names, the memoranda of Dr. Edmond Cooper, a 17th century Rector, regarding a dispute over a pew being in a 'pleasant vein' to quote from a very favourable review of the book in The Times Literary Supplement of 25th May, 1933. There are other details of interest connected with the cost of repairs at the Rectory at the same date.
It is impossible for such a small centre as Woodmancote to produce a record of this character without outside help, and we hope that many of our readers will support the effort by purchasing the remaining volumes, price one guinea, to be obtained from the Rector, Woodmancote Rectory, Henfield, Sussex.
