East Hoathly with Halland is a civil parish〔(East Hoathly with Halland Parish Council website )〕 in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The parish contains the two villages of East Hoathly and Halland, two miles (3.2 km) to the west; it sits astride the A22 road, four miles (6.4 km) north-west of Hailsham, although the original sharp bend on that road through East Hoathly has now been bypassed.〔(East Hoathly & Halland historical notes (includes photographs) )〕 ==East Hoathly== The origin of the village name is said to be from the family name of ''De Hodleigh'', landowners in the 12th century. The village was the home of Thomas Turner (1729–1793), a local diarist, in the 18th century. In more modern times it was the birthplace of founding member/keyboard player of the progressive rock band Genesis, Tony Banks. A Decca Navigator transmitter station was located here, one of four that formed the English Chain 5B. Designated the Green station, with a base frequency of 127.500 kHz, it's GPS location was 50.917°N, 00.150°E. John Pratt was the Station Master and he lived on site with his wife and daughters. After the closure the family moved to Hailsham. A combination of Euro law and the technological advent of the GPS system doomed Decca Navigator, which first saw service on D-Day and was used to guide ships ashore.
