	Simon Meopham [Archbishop of Canterbury 1328-1333] held a Provincial Synod called "Consilium Maghfeldense" at Mayfield to regulate festivals and holidays, proof enough it was then a goodly town, since it must have been able to afford accommodation for the numerous retinues of bishops and other great dignitaries of Church, who, from all parts of Southern England, must have been present on the occassion. ....... The result of the meeting appears in a circular letter addressed by the Archbishop particularily to the Bishop of Salisbury. In it he affirms that "holidays, which were designed for the promotion of God's glory, are too often profaned by rioting and drunkenness and all manner of iniquity." He enjoins the clergy to represent to those under them to observe these feasts with reverend solemnity, and desires each diocesan to teach the people "that the Lord's Day is to begin on the Saturday before, but must not on that account be confounded with the Jewish Sabbath."

	The first engraved maps of the counties of Great Britain were the work of Christopher Saxton who, under the authority of the Privy Council, surveyed the English counties in Elizabethan times, from 1574 to 1578. In 1593 he was followed by John Norden who projected an ambitious scheme for a complete series of county histories. He published before his death a number of counties - Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Essex, Northampton, Cornwall, Sussex and Surrey. John Speed's map of Sussex is based upon Norden's map and was engraved by Jodocus Hondius. It occupies pages nine and ten of John Speed's Atlas entitled "The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine", is 20 1/4 inches by 15 1/4 inches in size and shows additionally an interesting plan of Chichester and a spirited representation of the Battle of Hastings.

	Robert Morden was a London bookseller from 1669 until his death in 1703. He specialised in the geographical field and was himself something of a cartographer and a publisher. Throughout the 17th and most of the 18th centuries, there was little distinction between the activity of book or print-selling and that of publishing: many booksellers were also printers or engravers. They undertook the sale of each others' work and often combined to meet the high cost of publishing a new map or reissue of an old atlas, even if the original plates were still available. This map was published in Brittania: a chorographical description of Great Britain and Ireland by William Camden.

1890	History		Mayfield	Firmin's Guide
	Mayfield is about five miles from Crowborough and two from Rotherfield. The way to it is by the Station Road and through Rotherfield. There are two buildings in the village of historical interest: the archiepiscopal palace and the church. The building of the Palace is attributed to S. Dunstan, but there is little or no foundation for the assertion. It was a favourite resort, pre-viously to the Reformation, of the archbishops, three of whom died there. Provincial Councils were also held in it. It remained in the possession of the Church till the reign of Henry VIII., when, like many another valuable property of the Church, it fell into the hands of that voracious potentate, being surrendered to him by Archbishop Cranmer. In 1545 the King granted it to Sir Henry North, and he sold it to Sir John Gresham, through whom it descended to Sir Thomas Gresham (the founder of the Royal Exchange), who right royally entertained Queen Elizabeth within its walls. Subsequently it was allowed to fall into decay, and the stones were removed from it and used in the construction of houses in the village. For some time it was occupied as a farmhouse, and then purchased by the Duchess of Leeds, who presented it to an order of Roman Catholic nuns. It has been rebuilt as a convent and school at considerable cost.
