A number of local
craftsmen in this old East Sussex village are
continuing the age-old tradition of making
trugs - baskets made from willow set in wooden
frames.
Herstmonceux Castle is a 15th century
fortified manor house and one of the earliest
brick buildings in the country.
At one time it was the home of the Royal
Greenwich Observatory, which was literally
forced to quit the bright lights of London
because of its bright lights. |
