302 Worrling. By this map there also appears to have been a chapel-of-ease at Foul Mile." (Horsfield's Suss. I, 547.) In a map of Speede's, which I have examined, dated 1610, Boreham chapel is noticed, but not that at Foul Mile, and the name of the parish is spelled Wartling. See also the Note on Ashburnham.

269. .—After the description of the extent of this manor is added, "in one of these hides stands the castle of Bramber—In una ex his hidis sedet castellum Brembre." (D.B.)

270. .—This small church comprises only chancel, nave, north porch, and western wooden bell-turret. Two round-headed windows have stones around them rebated on the exterior as if for shutters. The east and west windows are Dec.; there is some Perp. woodwork. The chancel contains a very small square piscina, and a perfectly plain sedile. A low side-window has been closed. This church, like very many others, is coated with whitewash within and roughcast without.

271. .—The south wall of this church is Norm., having three of the original windows remaining, and the frame of the fourth is very visible on the outside. They are placed unusually high, and rebated for glass externally. The rest of the church, except a portion of the north wall, which is part of the original transept, appears to be, principally or entirely, Perp. There is some good carved screenwork, and part of the roodloft occupies its original position. The stairs exist in the wall, though the entrance and outlet are blocked up. The Norm. south transept remains, converted into a school-room; and from the appearance of foundations it seems to have terminated in an apse. By the side of the west door under the tower is a mutilated stoup. Priest Hawes, in a distant part of this parish, is supposed to have been either a monastic establishment, or in some manner connected with one. See (Chronicles of Pevensey, 52); in which little work will likewise be found a fuller account of Westham church. "Here is an almshouse, containing four tenements, called the Hospital House of St. John the Baptist, besides Westham, sometimes called Gorogltown, endowed with thirty acres of land, &c." (Horsfield's Suss. I, 303.) This establishment seems to be mentioned again by Horsfield as another hospital in Pevensey; to which refer. Compare also the Note above on Haslesse.
