I believe one of his clocks is also at the British Museum. I would love to learn more about him. Henry GRANT (1812 Brightling-1893 Warbleton), son of Henry GRANT and Sarah FUNNELL (1782 Brightling-1855 Mountfield, possibly the daughter of John and Ann nee HILDER) was a Watch and Clock maker in Brightling and Warbleton. His brother Richard was apprenticed to him as were three nephews, sons of his brother John. His sons also went into the family business. I have always wondered how he, from a small Village like Brightling, came to be a Clock maker! Could there be a connection? It is on my to do list but any help would be appreciated.

I am, Francis Robert Higginson Lowe.
Noticed your Great Grandfathers name is the same as mine, which is quite unusual. I have the third given name of Higginson too.
My Lowe family is from Cheshire & Loughborough; lots of info available.

Re. Peter William Funnell. 1824-1889.
Hello, I am looking for any info on my Great great grandfather, Peter William Funnell, who was born in Cuckfield in 1824. He married Harriet Dubbins in 1845 in the Strand district of London, and had three daughters, Ellen Augusta, ( my Great grandmother), Emma Mildred, and Florence; they also had at least one son. They lived at
80 Loughborough Park, Brixton, London. Any info would be much appreciated.

Comment on Fletching local history report by Gail Pillay

I have just finished reading Edward Rutherfurds book Forest.( New Forest Area) I am sure it must have been just like that for our ancestors living in and off the Ashdown forest all those years ago. I think it is in the Funnell’s genes to feel a very close attachment to trees and all things wood. My grandfather was a sawyer in both North and South Island (New Zealand) forests. My fathers childhood was spent living in Peel Forest (NZ). So I guess when they left those beautiful areas of Sussex that you have been fortunate to revisit they did not feel too bad.
