Southease is a small village and civil parish in East Sussex, in South East England between the A26 road and the road from Lewes to Newhaven. The village is to the west of the River Ouse, Sussex and has a church dedicated to Saint Peter. Southease railway station lies roughly a kilometre east over the river and may be reached via a swing bridge. The church has one of only three round towers in Sussex, all of which are located in the Ouse Valley and all three built in the first half of the 12th century. It is downstream of Lewes, the county town of East Sussex and upstream of Piddinghoe and Newhaven. Paths along both the banks of the river allow hiking in either direction along the river. The remains of a slipway on the west bank of the Ouse just north of the bridge faces Mount Caburn. The nearest village is Rodmell, about a kilometre to the northwest. The South Downs Way winds its way through the village towards the nearby River Ouse and the railway station. A new bridge has been built over the A26.〔(New Bridge over A26 near Southease )〕 The village also has a horticultural nursery.〔(Plant nursery details ) on village homepage.〕 Most cottages in the village date from the 17th century.〔 The population of the village is about thirty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SOUTHEASE village )〕 ==History== King Eadred was reputed to have granted the manor of Southease (including Southease parish, 38 hides, a church and part of South Heighton) to Hyde Abbey.〔 It was granted to the abbey again by King Edward in 996.〔 The church dates from the year 966.〔(Southease, Rodmell, Telscombe ), Louise Schweitzer〕 At the time of the Domesday Book a thriving community was in place and the village appears to have been the biggest herring fishery in the district, having been assessed for 38,500 herring while Brighton had a mere 4,000. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the manor probably remained in possession of the King and in 1546 one John Kerne was appointed bailiff and collector of the manors of Southease, Telscombe and Heighton.〔 There was never a manor house in Southease as it was always owned by absentee landlords.〔 The manor passed to the Sackville family - it was held by Thomas Sackville, his widow Cicely and their grandson Robert.〔 The population of the parish declined through the 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sussex Online Parish Clerks - Southease )〕 The census recorded a population of 120 in 1841 with the population falling with each census to 66 in 1891.〔 The village was part of the Holmstrow hundred until the abolition of hundreds in the 19th century. The body of Virginia Woolf was found at Asham Wharf, on the east bank of the Ouse, to the north of the bridge.〔(Newhaven to Lewes walk ) - mentions Asham Wharf〕 The church bells were rehung in 2000.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southease」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
