In Udimore He Remained is the book I wrote about my great great grandfather John Noakes who lived in the village all his life from 1800-1854. One brother was put on trial at the Old Bailey for smuggling offences, two went to Australia to start new lives and John stayed behind marrying twice. I have a few copies available from [reveal email] . Well worth a read!

My gg grandfather a James Noakes with his wife Sarah (nee Coleman) left Udimore for Australia in 1836. Could he be any relation of your John Noakes? Best Wishes,

Hi, during the 1950’s, as a young child, an aunt and uncle of mine owned The Mill House, where we frequently stayed. In September of this year, I drove past and noticed it has been (seemingly) thoroughly modernised.
As a small child, I was sent down the extensive tunnels under the house and, as a result, I would love to know if, either the current, or past, owners are aware of their existance, let alone history?
In fascination,
