A Zoom Webinar

Christopher Whittick – To the Manor Born: Manorial Records for Local Historians

Christopher Whittick, former East Sussex county archivist, will be focusing on manorial records for local historians. He will cover the role that manors played in Sussex history, a particular issue for Lewes.

In the 11th Century, there was a manor of Lewes, originally held by the de Warennes, but later subdivided between their heirs. However, it did not cover every property in Lewes – we have a town in which many different manors had a stake.
