Here is a Grammar school, founded about the year 1690 by Dr. Anthony Saunders, who was rector of Buxted, vicar of Acton in Middlesex, and treasurer of St. Paul's, and one of the chaplains of Archbishop Sheldon. By his will, dated October 31st, 1718, he provided for the gratuitous education of twelve boys, six of Buxted and six of Uckfield : and bequeathed his library to it, for the use of the schoolmaster and scholars for the time being. For the support of the school he gave about 14 acres of land in Uckfield, together with the payment of £10, charged on the Rocks farm, in Buxted | |||||
