The ParishThe parish of Whatlington lies in eastern Sussex not too far from its border with neighbouring Kent. Whatlington is located about 8 miles north of the coastal resort of Hastings and sits, in lanes, just over a half mile west of the A21 road which connects Hastings with London. Whatlington is a small village strung out along a lane connecting the A21 through to Battle and spread either side of the River Line with no real defined village centre. Modern developments have come to the parish with the London to Hastings railway line passing through the parish but Whatlington has no station to prompt development. At the time of this transcript Whatlington would have been a mixed farming village like so many in the county. The River Line drains the parish eastwards, joining, in turn, the Brede and the Rother to reach the English Channel through the port of Rye. Whatlington is sited at around 40 metres above the sea and land is gently undulating hereabouts reaching local heights of just over 100 metres en route to Battle. By Sussex standards Whatlington was a relatively small parish, covering a little under 1,300 acres it would have supported a population of just under 300 parishioners. In Domesday times Whatlington was a holding of Count Robert of Eu and was an equally small place offering just 5 ploughs as assets. |
