The GAZETTE would like to congratulate Rye's latest centenarian, Mrs. Edith Peek of 18 Fishmarket Road, who will be celebrating her hundredth birthday on 4 February; we are saying so in good time so that her friends can make appropriate arrangements...
The County Council is at last going to make a start on building the new Fire Station in Mill Lane (off Ferry Road). Plans now in the Council Offices show proposed construction of a four-storey drill tower behind the Drill Hall plus an underground water tank on the side nearest the phone exchange. The Drill Hall is to be demolished and will eventually provide a site for the two-bay fire station; but construction of this is not allowed for in the present plans. Work is intended to start in March and will probably continue until October.
The drill tower will be of brick, with a flat roof; there will be a fuel store built into the bottom. The base measurements are not given, but it looks from the plan to be about 6m x 5m. The height is given as 15m maximum - just under fifty feet.
The plans allow for 16 parking spaces; the total number of people working there is estimated as 20. Access will be from Mill Lane at the phone exchange end of the frontage.
Rye Grammar School was evacuated to Bedford from 1940 to 1944. In 1980, there was a very special reunion in Rye for those who went to Bedford; and now, in 1984, there are plans for a similar reunion to mark the school's homecoming - is time, to play fair, in Bedford.
The date is Saturday, 12 May; there will be a dinner at the Swan Hotel, and arrangements are being made for a block booking for those who want overnight accommodation afterwards.
A hundred circulars were sent out to old scholars of the period whose addresses are known to the Association; thirty have already accepted, half-a-dozen are not able to come, and the organisers are still hoping to hear from anyway most of the rest. Among those who have accepted are Miss Turner, who has been lured from her New Road home by the promise of a lift both ways; and Brian Dawson, who is arranging his vacation from the States to include the reunion.
Will Dunlop tells us that there may well be Grammar School pupils who were at Bedford but who have lost touch with the Association in the years between. They would be people now somewhere in their fifties. In addition to those who were evacuated with the school (at any point in its exile) the Association would be glad to invite anyone close to this age-group who would like to come - e.g. older or younger siblings who just missed the evacuation period. If any of our readers are in touch with former Grammar School pupils of this vintage, it would be much appreciated if word of the reunion could be passed on. The organiser is George Roberts, Mayellen, Sea Road, Winchelsea (Rye 226548), who will gladly supply information.

Pamela Nash, the artist - Mrs. Ernest Collyer, of the Winchelsea Station pottery - died on Friday in hospital in Brighton. Mrs. Collyer had been in poor health for some months, but her sudden death has been a shock to her many friends and there is great sympathy for her husband, and for her mother Edith who also lives in Winchelsea. We shall hope to publish in a later issue an account of Pamela Nash's career as an artist; her work for the cause of art in Rye, both as a member of the Rye Society of Artists and as a staunch supporter of the Rye Art Gallery, are well known. The funeral will take place at St. Mary's on Friday (27th) at 3, followed by cremation at Hastings; instead of flowers, donations are invited for the Pamela Nash Dialysis Machine Fund, c/o Natwest Bank, High Street, Rye.
There are gruesome stories of weekend train travel from Rye in both directions. It seems to be largely a matter of luck!
Doubts expressed last week about the "improved" connections at Hastings were justified, as Brighton-bound travellers leaving Rye at 9.27 one Saturday found to their cost; the train from Hastings was not held, and they waited around for 40 minutes for the next one.
Sheila Bowler had an even worse experience: with a Saturday lunch date in London, she left Rye at 8.11 and reached Charing Cross soon after 10 (round by Maidstone). This was some 20 minutes later than the normal timetable, but she was prepared for it. She was not prepared, however, when she returned to Charing Cross for the 15.30 down, to be told that it was not running. She was directed to an Ashford train supposed to leave at 16.00; in fact, it left 15 minutes late, and when it reached Sevenoaks all the passengers were disgorged into a bus. This got to Tonbridge just after the train with which it was supposed to connect had left; and Mrs. Bowler finally reached Rye at 19.30 - four hours after arriving at Charing Cross for a timetabled train which would normally have deposited her in Rye at 17.12! However, the following week her husband left Charing Cross at 20.30 and was back in Rye two hours later; apparently, if the train on the half-hour does run, it is the one to aim at.
The National Trust's local Centre has, we were impressed to discover, arranged its lecture programme right up until April 1985! Unlike the Friends of Rye Art Gallery and the Natural History Society, the Trust does not have a regular day, place or time for its lectures; most are at the Community Centre, but some at Winchelsea New Hall, and Saturday afternoon talks make a welcome change from the more usual evening events of this kind. Members, of course, receive a programme; non-members are admitted for a small charge if there is room, and the titles of lectures appear in The Week's Events. Miss Barbara Lyle tells us that the new address system, large screen and stronger projector now enable everyone to see and hear easily.
Nine outings are planned for next summer, as well as two theatre visits before Easter and perhaps more to follow. But the Centre does not forget its prime purpose; recently it sent to the National Trust's Regional Office £600 each for the Ightham Mote and Birling Gap appeals.
Prospective members of the Centre, who must also be National Trust members, should contact Miss Lyle at Little Manor, Mill Road, Winchelsea (Rye 226423).
We promised to publish a list of fund-raising events, etc., booked into the Town Diary for the rest of the year. This will appear in the next issue of the GAZETTE and we hope will include the results of several planning meetings held this week. DEADLINE DATE, SUNDAY 29 JANUARY.

THE RYE GAZETTE, 25.1.1984
Mr. Maurice Beevers' many friends in Rye will be very sorry to learn that he has just undergone an operation in the Royal East Sussex Hospital; Mr. Beevers is in Ward 5.
In St. Helen's Hospital, Mrs. Rosalind Webb of The Strand is making good progress in Ward 8. New Winchelsea Road is all too well represented in St. Helen's at the moment; Miss Ruth Shearer, who is 97, is making a good recovery from her pre-Christmas hip operation in Ward 3a, her friend Miss Sybil Oliver has now joined her there in Ward 4, and Mr. Ernie Bourn is in Ward 5a.
We regret to hear of so many invalids and hope to report better news of them all soon.
Ken Warren's next Rye "surgery" will be on Friday, 17 February, at the Council Offices as usual. Appointments should be made at the Conservative Association's Hastings office (Hastings 423110) between 9.30 and 12.30; the new agent is Mrs. Poulter. The new appointments system in Rye for the Unemployment Benefit Office, which arose out of a suggestion made at an earlier surgery, started last week when the interviewers met their clients at the Community Centre. A spokesman tells us that the new system will certainly continue, with the next session in April; it is much cheaper to run and has received enthusiastic approval from clients in and around Rye.
Some time ago we mentioned Rye Ramblers' offer to local parish councils to survey their footpaths in connection with an ESCC project. Mrs. Sheila Ungar, of North Salts, tells us that the group has now dealt with Peasmarsh, Brede and Udimore paths and is working on those in Northiam - though some days are better than others for this kind of job, as you can't conveniently work from maps in pouring rain!
Mrs. Ungar says that they were much helped in their Brede survey by a truly brilliant idea from Brede Parish Council: local residents have been invited to "adopt" footpaths near their homes, keep an eye on them and report deficiencies to the Council for action. A footpath cherished in this way is obviously not going to get into a neglected and impassable state. Although Brede has not got offers for all the paths in the parish, quite a few of the more frequented ones now looked after; and Mrs. Ungar wonders if other parish councils would be interested in the idea?
A recent report to Rother's Recreation and Tourism Committee gives the running costs of the Rye Tourist Information Centre. The revised estimates for 1983/4 give the net cost as just over £5,000. The Battle centre costs £7,870 net; their salaries are £8,610 while ours are £4,695. Perhaps this difference reflects the advantage of a tourist office combined with an administrative base (the latter's costs are not, presumably, included in these Tourism Committee figures).
Net outlay on our open spaces administered by Rother is shown in another set of figures. Sports grounds (which include Mason Field as well as the Salts) are expected to cost £23,000 for the year. Outlay on gardens (Gun Garden, etc.) is more than £2,000 up on the previous year, at £8,345, and the Churchyard upkeep is also higher, with more being spent on plants, etc., as well as on wages. The allotments, unexpectedly, cost less to run this year than last, at £1,735 a saving of over £150 - receipts from rents are down, but so are wages. In all, the net cost of Rye Special Expenses amounts to nearly £34,000 - a saving of some £500 on last year.

Readers in Rye will by now have gathered that there has been a good deal of controversy engendered by the affair of the Royal Navy helicopter. As we reported last week, the team was due to call at Thomas Peacocke School this coming Friday as part of a public relations tour of schools in the area. However, when Headmaster Ray Fooks received a letter signed by nine parents saying that in their view such a visit could be construed as political indoctrination of his pupils, he decided to avoid any suspicion of partisanship and cancelled the event.
The letter-writers were headed by film producer Mr. Martin Smith and his wife, who came to Rye two years ago and have two children in Lower School; the other signatories were, we understand, Mr. and Mrs. McGrath of Udimore, Mr. and Mrs. Underwood of Pett, and Mr. and Mrs. Champion and Mrs. Cassidy of Rye. All have children in the lower or middle school, and the visit would have affected only senior pupils, so it was as a matter of principle that the parents protested about a report, taken from a Navy press release, that the team would be giving "a general studies lecture to fifth and sixth formers on the Navy's role within NATO defence policy". Some, but not all, of the writers also objected, they told us, to the helicopter display.
Their letter was sent simultaneously (and without any preliminary check with the school) to the Headmaster and to the News and Express, who both published extracts last week. Mr. Fooks told us on Monday that he had not had any other letters complaining about the proposed visit, but he had received some from people who felt it should have gone ahead.
One of these was signed by 65 sixth formers, and the writers (Karen Walker, Sarah Hamstead and Harriet Le Fevre, all of Rye) sent the GAZETTE a copy. The pupils "feel that we, as the senior members of the school, are old enough to decide for ourselves whether or not we would want to attend such a demonstration. At a time when the anti-nuclear debate is so much in the news, we feel that perhaps we should see the defensive side of the issue; a subject which is not given as much airing as the majority of the youth of today would want. If the nine parents feel so strongly about the issue, perhaps they would like to come and present a similar performance demonstrating their side of the argument. Whether or not we like it, NATO plays a very important part in the running of our country, and we feel we should know as much about the organisation and its part in today's society as possible. We therefore feel such a demonstration could prove to be an invaluable asset to an understanding of a society we soon will be entering."
Mr. Fooks told us he was sorry that the nine parents had not got in touch with him before expressing their views to the press - balance in a school, he said, is not achieved by letters to the papers. He felt that their letter showed a profound misunderstanding of the school's position. But time was short, it was an extremely busy period at the school, and he himself took the decision to cancel the visit so that a fresh start could be made after discussion with the Governors and the PTA (for which there had been no opportunity at such short notice). He hopes that out of this rather sad affair good may come, with greater awareness of national issues on the part of senior pupils - he will be asking the sixth form for their suggestions and hopes to set up discussions and perhaps (after many years without one) a debating society.
Ken Warren, MP, had of course heard about the problem; his comment was that it was "better to welcome the Marines abseiling down today than to send them away and face the Russians abseiling down tomorrow".
This is, it seems clear, the view of the overwhelming majority of people in Rye. Perhaps, after the storms and blizzards of recent days, we would have been more than ordinarily proud to welcome one of the Forces helicopters whose crews have given such magnificent service in saving lives on the mountains and over the sea. (Douglas Sealy, an ex-pupil of Thomas Peacocke, now pilots one, and from the Royal Naval Station at Culdrose took part in two air-sea rescue operations in one day early this week.) Adults and children alike were looking forward to this visitor from our calmer skies as a diversion at a dull season; the parents who prompted its cancellation will not have made their cause any more popular in uncommitted circles by their action.

At the recent AGM of the Rye Bonfire Society, it was announced that the following organisations had received donations from the proceeds of the procession: NSPCC, Rye Lions, RNLI, the Pett Level rescue boat, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, St. John Ambulance Brigade, the Police Benevolent Fund and the Firemen's National Benevolent Fund. Bonfire Secretary Joan Parkes reports that fund-raising was excellent last year, and the actual Bonfire Night was deemed, in the words of Ryers, "almost as good as the old days". She suspects it will be difficult to match it in 1984. The Society received, towards its expenses, £100 from Rye Town Lottery and £150 from EMDSC at the Union. Both these sources have now dried up, and Mrs. Parkes wonders if it would be possible to form a Friends of Rye Bonfire Society for people who love the occasion, who would hate to see it abandoned because of lack of funds, and who would promise a sum of money, however small, every year? Those who would like to take part should contact her at Bridge Place. (PS. The four bands in the procession all needed paying, and the total bill here amounted to some £200 - perhaps someone fond of marching music might like to sponsor one of them for next year?)
Owing to the serious illness of the present Secretary, Mrs. Mavis Bannister of Peasmarsh, the Rye and District Branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society is looking for someone who would be willing to take on the job of Secretary for his organisation, which exists to raise funds to provide Bibles for those who would otherwise be without them. Mrs. McCaughey of Playden Cottage, Military Road (Rye 2222XX) would be very glad to discuss the matter with anyone who might be able to help. The Society's AGM takes place at the Baptist Hall on Thursday, 23 February at 7.45, when the speaker will be Mr. Tim Pain.
The jumble sale at the Day Care Centre last Wednesday raised over £60. Organiser Mrs. Barbara Wild has given £30 to the Centre's kind hosts, the Baptist Church, towards the cost of the new cooker recently purchased by the Church but largely used by the Centre; and another £30 will go towards the setting-up expenses of the next development, intended to help disabled rather than elderly people.
Two dozen people attended the AGM of the Hill House League of Friends last Tuesday. Mrs. Soanes replaces Mrs. Fuller on the Committee, and Mrs. Hilary McDonald has taken over from Mrs. Mary East as Voluntary Help Organiser. Although subscriptions to the League for the year amount only to just over £100, it has been extremely successful with its fund-raising events, headed by the summer fete which brought in £840 towards a total of over £1,900 for the year, an increase on 1982. Expenses amounted to some £1,100, including help with the hospital's holiday caravan and the pool, and donations towards fireworks, Christmas activities and the purchase of a go-kart and tools. After the business of the meeting, the Rev. Dr. Jonathan King spoke and answered questions on health care in the United States.
The Greyfriars League of Friends raised £70 at their coffee morning on Thursday, and Chairman Ron Dipper is most grateful to all who helped and all who came to support the group, despite the rain - especially, he says, to Neil Weatherall of Social Services who lent them the meeting room at the back of the Patch Office. This certainly makes a most useful addition to the town's stock of rooms for small events - warm, accessible, with plenty of seating and facilities for making coffee, etc. The Friends enlivened it with discreet background music.
On view was a book of photographs of recent events at the home, including the 1983 summer fete run by the Friends, and also snapshots of many of the staff and residents. Other views show the house itself - built in 1819; two centuries ago, the chapel ruins in the grounds were apparently inhabited by two highwaymen, William Johnson and Samuel Watson, who were eventually executed in 1782. The ruins are now used for more appropriate purposes, and there were photographs of a recent service there.
The Friends of Greyfriars have been in existence only a year, and in that time have raised £557 for "extras" for the home; this does not include the proceeds of the Christmas Fair, which was arranged by the staff.

In 1802 William Lewis, a yeoman formerly of Rye and then of East Grinstead, sold for £200 to Richard Heath, yeoman of Rye, a "messuage in the Wish at Rye". The deed gives the measurement of the plot and states that the neighbours were Joseph Harman (previously Thomas Green) who had a house on the north-west side, and William Brazier, owner of the garden to the south-east; the property fronted "the King's Highway" and backed on to land owned by the Corporation of Rye.
There is no indication in that first deed (though there must have been earlier ones which have gone astray) of what the house was then used for; but Richard Heath was a wine and spirit merchant, and also owned (then or later) the property referred to as the Dolphin Inn ("formerly two messuages") in Longer Street, neighboured by George Frize to the south and John Forster (previously John Chatterton) to the north and backing on to the Town Wall. At one point, we learn, it was in the occupation of William Honiss.
When Richard Heath died in 1834, he left his assets to be divided among his six daughters and three sons. The trustees were his eldest son Henry and two of his sons-in-law, Joseph Henley and William Barber. By 1862 all three men were dead, and there seems to have been some sort of financial adjustment within the remainder of the family so that effective control of both the Dolphin Inn and the house in the Wish - now referred to as The Carpenter's Arms - passed to the widowed Sarah Ann Barber; in 1864 she rented them to Herbert Chapman and Thomas Elliott on a 21-year repairing lease at £20 p.a. Chapman and Elliott were partners in the East Guldeford Brewery (where the tennis club is now).
Sarah Barber must have married well, since her son John is described in 1877 as being of Maida Hill, Middlesex, gentleman, and seems to have been partner in a firm of City solicitors. Sarah died in 1875, and two years later John sold both inns to the tenant for £575 altogether. By then The Dolphin was known as The Foresters' Arms, and The Carpenters' Arms was called The Two Sawyers (perhaps at one time The Sawyers' Arms).
After this we lose track of The Foresters' Arms. But The Two Sawyers changed its name again, and it was as the London Stout House that Vidlers sold it at auction in 1908 at the George Hotel; it was then occupied by William Leggett, but no longer had a licence. It had passed from Chapman and Elliott to Chapman's two sons, and thence to their firm Chapman Bros of 101 High Street, and in 1900 the Chapmans had borrowed £600 on it from Mrs. Louisa Cooper of Icklesham. The sale in 1908 was by order of Mrs. Cooper and cleared the mortgage; but she lost on the deal, since the price was only £300.
The new owner was Mrs. Ellen Milton of Ferry Road, wife of Robert Milton, dairyman. She died intestate two years later, and a deed of 1911 refers to the law of gavelkind, peculiar to Kent and a few other places including Rye: Robert retained a half interest in the property as long as he did not remarry, but when he did it passed equally to his three sons. Thomas lived in New Cross and worked for the South East and Chatham Railway; Frank, based in Ferry Road, was a steward with the Orient Steamship Company; and Henry, of Cyprus Place, was a dairyman's assistant (presumably to his father). Sometime during the next ten years the Miltons rented the property to Charles Clark for a grocery business, since he is described as the tenant when he purchased the place for £500 in 1921. (This deed still describes the house as being in the Wish, though the document refers elsewhere to Ferry Road!). At that point, although Thomas Milton was still working for the railway, things had changed for the other two brothers; Frank had given up the sea and was a gardener in Dunedin, NZ, and Henry was now the manager of the Cornish Dairy in Market Road.
Charles Clark died in 1952, just 150 years after the first deed in the bundle was drawn up. After two more changes of ownership, the "messuage in the Wish" has recently been rejuvenated as "Crafty", the shop and home of Mrs. Marjorie Rust, who was kind enough to lend the GAZETTE her bundle of deeds recently. (Dodging round the "wheretofors" and "hereinafters" and the endless repetition, deeds make fascinating reading; please don't turn them into lampshades!)

We are very sorry to hear that Ruth Bailey is leaving the East Sussex News at the end of this month. Ruth, who was the Rye reporter on the Sussex Express for two years before moving to the News at the end of 1981, will be missed in the town. She is joining her husband's firm, Bailey Editorial Services, to work on the travel side of the business, and already has trips lined up to Malta and Zimbabwe - a great deal more interesting than sitting in on other people's parish council meetings! Ruth tells us she will miss Rye, too, and hopes to come over sometimes to write us up for the benefit of readers overseas; so we say au revoir rather than goodbye.
Elizabeth Goldsworthy tells us that, according to the records of the Multiple Sclerosis Society's local branch, the Rye area seems to have a surprisingly large number of sufferers from this disease - roughly three times the national average! Doubtless, to a certain extent, this reflects the success of the branch in making contact with sufferers. But it makes her wonder if there is an interesting, and possibly vital, line of research indicated here?
In this respect she is concerned with two categories of people with the disease: those living in the branch's area who are coping perfectly well on their own and have therefore not contacted the Society; and those who used to live round here and have moved away, perhaps not developing the disease until after they left. For statistical purposes only, Mrs. Goldsworthy would be most grateful if people who know of multiple sclerosis victims in either category would give her details; write to her at Houghton Green House, Playden.
A recent discussion on how to deal with moles quarrying in a cherished lawn produced various suggestions, and we wondered if readers would have ideas of their own to add to the list?
Farmers have been known to stand for hours with a shotgun pointed at where they hope the mole will come up next - has anyone known this work? Battering the lawn with a heavy blunt implement is said to set up vibrations in the soil which cause internal bleeding and kill the tunneller (battering the tunneller direct is a guaranteed cure, but not easy to effect!) An old-fashioned remedy employed by a mole-catcher who toured local farms some twenty years ago was to drop worms coated in strychnine into the runs - but this is surely now illegal, or anyway owned upon in ecological circles? Mole traps are the traditional answer, but they are not easy to set and anyway, we were assured, if there is any smell of humanity upon them the mole will detect it and go another way.
There is a theory that caper spurge planted round the edge of the garden will deter the excavators from moving in - if you like caper spurge better than moles, of course; and by the time you have the plant well established, the moles might well have moved to fresh hunting-grounds anyway. One desperate gardener put his garden hose into the run and attached the other end to his car exhaust pipe; what he got was a melted garden hose! More effective, apparently, is simply hosing water into the run for an hour or two. But if anyone knows of a proven remedy, we would be delighted to publish it.
An anonymous writer complained recently that the GAZETTE expresses the opinions of the Editor rather than running a letters column so that readers could express theirs. In fact, of course, readers' opinions are frequently recorded in the paper, though usually in a condensed form, and the Editor welcomes letters. Those who want to express their thoughts in the press verbatim can do so in the Express or the News, if their views are of sufficient interest; but no paper will publish a letter which the writer is ashamed to sign!

• Congratulations to Ian Gilder and his bride Tessa, both formerly of the Saltings Hotel, whose marriage on Friday was followed by a reception at the George Hotel. After a honeymoon on skis, Mr. Gilder is to take a course with Berni Inns; we hope to hear in due course where the Gilders' first posting is to be, and we wish them every success.
• An SOS from Mr. James Bateman at the Rye Bookshop - no more Christmas cards, please! He is overwhelmed by the number handed in recently (for recycling by the Church of England Children's Society members), and already has as many as he can possibly cope with. Mrs. Viola Bayley, who is in charge of the scheme, told us recently that they had sold some 5,000 cards last year, plus about 1,200 birthday cards (can we possibly have got the figures right?) in aid of the Society's funds. We have not been able to contact her in time for this week's issue, but will let readers know next week what she would like done - or not done - with surplus cards in future.
• Rother Council is advertising for a temporary assistant gardener to undertake maintenance work at Rye Cemetery - applicants must be physically fit and preferably have gardening experience. Closing date is 30 January, and applications should go to the Personnel and Management Services Officer, Town Hall, Bexhill; more details are given in the notice in the Council Offices window.
• The police are looking for someone on the Tilling Green Estate - but for an entirely laudable reason. They would like a volunteer as community co-ordinator there for the Crime Alert scheme, ideally one person for the whole estate but failing that, several covering their own areas. There is not a great deal of work involved; the important part is simply to be known as the contact for anyone worried about something odd going on.
• Sunday Times readers may he interested to know that there is a Rye connection with an exciting adventure story featured in that paper earlier this month. The complex tale of how Brian Milgate unearthed a smuggling ring in the Indian Ocean might seem a long way from Rye, but Mr. Milgate's companion in his investigations is Alison McGuinness; Alison's grandmother went out to Australia from Rye; and the adventurous young woman is a cousin of Len Fuggle of Lea Avenue!
• Rye telephone exchange did indeed feature on BBC2 on Monday morning, and both it and Dennis Kemp came over as large as life and twice as natural. Anne Swaine tells us, incidentally, that the LWT team will be using the big room at the FE Centre as one of their settings; the filming week obligingly coincides with half-term, when the adult education classes shut down anyway, and the room will not therefore be in use.
