A Forest Farm - The History of Tickeridge Farm, Kingscote, West Sussex

A Forest Farm is the culmination of years of diligent research, recording the dynamic history of Tickeridge Farm in the hamlet of Kingscote, East Grinstead in Sussex. The book is a comprehensive study of the farm’s development from Neolithic times to the present day. Kim Bayne travelled all over the country to discover and bring to life the stories of its owners, tenants and workers, to produce a work which covers not only the changes and challenges encountered on the farm, but also those which affected the people who contributed to its history.
