WHERE
ARE WE?
Upper
Quireboye is situated amongst the pleasant South Downs in East
Sussex. The word Sussex gives us a clue to a part of the
history. Sussex means the land of the Southern Saxons - as
Essex was the land of the Eastern Saxons. Wessex was the land
of the Western Saxons, and Middlesex - well, that was the land
of those Saxons who had gender identification problems.

Drake, Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, Queen Victoria; all
of whom have left their mark on the broad canvas of history, by
