Pigot & Co Directory 1840 for Sussex ~ Chailey, Barcomb and Newick

CHAILEY is a village and parish in the hundred of Street, and rape of Lewes, about 6 miles N.W. from that town, situated in a rich and fertile part of that county. The inhabitants of this and the adjoining parishes are engaged in husbandry, but there is no trade of a marked character. The parish contains a small church dedicated to St. Peter, a chapel for dissenters, and a national school. Population of the parish, in 1831, 1,030.

About three miles south-east from Chailey, in the hundred of its name, is the village and parish of BARCOMB, which contains a very extensive oil mill, erected lately at a cost of £10,000. The church is dedicated to St. Mary; and the benefice a rectory, in the gift of the crown. A school was established here by the late Thomas Rickman, esq. for the instruction of poor children. Population of the parish, in 1831, 931.

About two miles north-east from Chailey, is the small village of NEWICK, possessing no feature of consideration but that of Newick park, the seat of the Rev. T. B. Powell, a retired and charming residence. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is in the early English style of architecture; the benefice is a rectory, in the patronage of the rev. gentleman before mentioned. Twelve poor girls of the parish are educated and clothed by means of an endowment, made by Venables Vernon, in 1771. Population, in 1831, 724.
