Historical records
1512 to 1541HistoryMosehamWace's Wadhurst
In 1512 he [William Saunders] left all his property in Wadhurst and Ticehurst to John Courthope of Hartfield, who had married his daughter and was also his co-heir in blood. That devise led to protracted litigation, only ended when in 1539 John Courthope granted Whiligh, Burgess land, and Moseham to his younger son George, the elder brother John receiving other land, and releasing by a deed of 1541 all his rights and interests in the above named lands. Since that Whiligh has passed from father to son in that same line, every ,successor a George Courthope.
1558HistoryMosehamWace's Wadhurst
Moseham - The old cottage at the top of the hill which is so named now, represents what was "in Queen Elizabeth's time a station of considerable importance consisting of twelve messuages, held of the manor of Bibleham in older days still by service of Castleguard." Up to 1558 that was owned by the Walters of Glynde, near Lewes: and later by the Waleys of the same place.

1813HistoryMosehamWace's Wadhurst
Thomas May sold Moseham to G. Courthope, of Grays Inn, London, then owner of Whiligh, and so Moseham passed into Ticehurst History. Courthope wrote of it in 1813 as "one small tenement of modern structure occupied with a small estate adjoining that of Whiligh."
