Since writing the Introduction to the Accounts several facts have come to light concerning the history of Warren Furnace. The central figure in all records dealing with the furnace is that of Edward Raby, about whom other records are elusive. He does seem to have lived at Raby's Farm, Newchapel, Surrey (TQ 367 425), though the connection is only nominal. The farm is about a quarter of a mile from Woodcock Forge.

In Sussex Archaeological Collections 46 (1903), there was published an abridged transcript of these accounts. Their editor, W. Powell Breach, made his selection to illustrate one of the more routine aspects of the iron trade. Straker made use of these accounts as did W. H. Hills in his History of East Grinstead, and it is to the former that we owe most for their interpretation.

One set of my great-great-great-grandparents were Thomas KNIGHT and Mary Ann SAXBY who were married at Maresfield on 11 April 1814. I had found it reasonably straightforward tracing my ancestry back to them. However I had problems getting any further back on either of their lines. The marriage licence granted by the Archdeaconry of Lewes on 9 April 1814 shows that Thomas was a bachelor of Maresfield aged 21 or more and Mary Ann was a spinster of the same parish, aged 18 or more who married with the consent of her mother, Ann SAXBY, a widow.

l was interested to read Eleanor Dilley's article 'A verdict of accidental death' in the March 2008 Sussex Family Historian for my grandmother's second cousin suffered a similar fate.
On Sunday 13 April 1913 Ernest KNIGHT, together with his brother Harold KNIGHT and a friend William George FRANCIS, were walking abreast along the Horsham to Worthing road at Washington between the top of Washington common and the road to Storrington. A Mercedes 15-20 bhp motor car driven by 'an Italian gentleman giving his name as Enrico RAVA' struck the group from behind. Harold KNIGHT, on the nearside, was hit by the car. William George FRANCIS, in the middle, had turned round to see the car and made it to the road edge, but Ernest was hit by the car and dragged for several yards before the car ran over him.

A Curious Tomb at Stedham, by Christine Payne, published September 2014 in Sussex Family Historian (vol. 21 no. 3, article, p.135) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/508853]

In my role photographing and transcribing the tombstones I sometimes get one which intrigues me. This spring I have been transcribing Stedham, which has just such a stone. A large tomb dedicated to one family; John KNIGHT who died 1822 and his children with his wife Pricilla, though Pricilla's own death does not appear to be remembered on the stone.
