LEWES HISTORY GROUP: Meet on Monday, 7pm for 7.30pm start at King’s Church, Brooks Road. The Legacy of Amon and Amon Henry Wilds. Lewes History Group’s lecture in March is by Dr Sue Berry. She will talk about the builder-architects Amon Wilds and his son Amon Henry, who worked in Lewes and then in Brighton from c.1790-1855. In a highly competitive market, this self-taught pair were remarkably successful and many of their buildings stand today. This talk is based on Dr Berry’s research, a considerable amount of which was published in the Sussex Archaeological Collections of 2012, and which has been enhanced by more recent work. Everyone is welcome. Members £1, non-members £3 with free refreshments. leweshistory.org.uk/meetings

FOOTPATHS GROUP: Alfriston/Litlington Walk Report February 24. Under a cloudless sky and brilliant unseasonably warm sunshine, nineteen of us set off from Alfriston to tackle the climb up Windover Hill. After several dry days prior to the walk the footpath had dried and firmed up considerably so we reached the summit in record time and thankfully mud-free. This allowed us time to cool down after the rigours of the climb and take a refreshment stop sitting on top of a conveniently placed long barrow (burial mound) that offered us panoramic views. The return route took us down hill past Lullington Heath Nature Reserve then on into Litlington, emerging into the village through what is now Long Man Brewery (regretfully their shop and tasting room is closed on Sundays). The walk then finished with a very pleasant amble along the Cuckmere river bank back into Alfriston. The walk was led by Wendy.
