Alexander Nesbitt, a Sussex antiquary, and the Oldlands estate

by Janet H. Stevenson

Image from article

In 1931 Sir Bernard Eckstein, Bt, proposed to enlarge the east end of Christ Church, Fairwarp, as a memorial to his father Sir Frederick. Despite local enquiries and advertisements placed in The Times from 1 June to 3 June 1931, it proved impossible to trace the representatives of Alexander Nesbitt to seek their permission to alter the position of the east window, which was dedicated to his memory. Thus, in the space of 30 years, the Nesbitts, for whom Oldlands Hall in Buxted had been built, and who had been instrumental in the establishment of a school and church at Fairwarp, had been forgotten, their presence there for 30 years entirely obscured by the later occupation of the Ecksteins. This paper seeks to redress the balance and to recount the history of the Oldlands estate.
