( a note from Angela Keeley)
The history group met four times this Spring. Firstly Roy Iremonger told us about Mr. Peploe, a very popular Headmaster of Dallington School. Next, Bob Baldock told us all that he had discovered about Church Cottage. I think we were all surprised at the size of the cottage at one time. Jenny Stiles was our third speaker, tracing the origins of Dallington as a settlement. Finally Douglas Sewell gave an interesting talk on Shipwrecks off the Sussex coast telling us in detail about the Mary Stanford lifeboat, which was lost with all hands just offshore iin Rye Bay in November 1928.
After expenses £230 was left which was shared equally between Dallington church and the Old School.
Any ideas for next year to Roy or myself please. Remember, they must be local to our parish.
