 Ticehurst High Street in 1910 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The comparative seclusion of Ticehurst is largely compensated for by the beauty of the neighbourhood, typical of East Sussex scenery at its best; by the healthiness of the village which is set on a high ridge affording glorious views; and by the fact that the population, while sufficiently large to admit of common action in the provision of social and recreative facilities, is still small enough to preserve that community of interests among all classes which is one of the happier features of life in our country districts. The name of the parish is spelt in a rich variety of ways in old records … Ticheshurst, Tiseherse, Tisehurst, Tysehurst, Tyseherst, Tyshert and Tiseherst. As to the derivation of the name, one finds oneself in the realm of speculation and conjecture. The second syllable of the word is, of course, the Anglo-Saxon word hurst, signifying a thick wood. The origin of the first syllable is not undisputed. Some have suggested that it recalls the name of a Saxon goddess, while others allege that the parish takes its name from the River Teise, a small stream which rises in the parish and eventually joins the Medway near Yalding. extract from Leonard Houston's Ticehurst: the Story of a Sussex Parish | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
