Deeds of the Glessing Estate, Bexhill
Date: 1686-1929
ESRO reference: AMS 5627
Extract of Description: Clinchgreen or Beddingham Farm; purchased by Newton Parks in 1861.
The property is shown on Ordnance Survey maps as Clinchgreen Farm between 1873 and 1908, but by 1928 had become the clubhouse of the Highwood Golf Course.
Between 1733 and about 1766 the farm was owned by Joseph Grover, master of Westham Charity School 1736-1738 and land-surveyor, for whom see Caffyn, Sussex Record Society 81 (1998) 303. Having intended to leave for Jamaica in 1738 he subsequently emigrated to America and died at Philadelphia before 1769.
The component parts of the Grover estate were as follows:
1 messuage and 30a called Beddingham (formerly Bodinham) in Bexhill
2 etc ……
On 26 March 1686 Thomas Copper of Eastbourne, saddler, son of John Copper of Bexhill, yeoman, deceased, and his wife Jane, sold Bodinham, occupied by Simon Coleman, to Thomas Grover of Bexhill, yeoman, for £100. Thomas Copper gave warranty against the acts of Roger Cooper of Iden, yeoman, deceased, Adrian Spray otherwise Pinion of Bexhill, iron-finer, deceased, John Payne of Bexhill, yeoman, deceased, and his son John Paine, who can be assumed to have been former owners of the estate (2/1).
…. etc. - Anecdote*: The following document aslo contains useful information:
House and four acres in Westham, inherited by the Revd Henry Thomas Grace in 1859
Date: 1667-1859
ESRO reference:AMS 5583/4/1
Extract of Description:
1 piece of meadow and pasture (4a) called The Gardens in Westham (N: a lane into the Hospital Marsh; W: Hospital Marsh, William Hammond’s The Well Marsh; S: road from Westham to Langney; E: road from Westham to Pevensey).
2 messuage, stable, garden, orchard (½a) called Blavers in Westham (N: road from Pevensey Castle to Eastbourne; W: the vicarage garden of Eastbourne; S: two acres called Almsland; E: house and garden late Lambrook Thomas, DD)

Four Acres called The Gardens, purchased by John Kine in 1711
By her will of 8 April 1667, Alice Fray, formerly Creswell, wife of Thomas Fray of Warbleton, yeoman, bequeathed her house, barn, orchard and piece of land (4a) called The Gardens in Westham, 1 above, to her daughter Alice Copper, wife of William Copper of Westham, husbandman, for life, remainder to Alice's daughters Alice, Mary and Susan Copper; the will was proved at Lewes on 6 January 1669 (4/1).
Alice Copper married Thomas Syms and was dead by 1687, when the property was in dispute between her children Mary Russell of Westham, widow of William Russell, and John Copper of Westham, cordwainer. On 10 January 1688 Mary Russell, in return for the interest on £20 deposited with John Hammond of Westham, gent, released her interest in the property to her brother John Copper (4/2-4).
On 11 December 1710 William Copper mortgaged the land, occupied by Mary Maynard, widow, for £65 to John King of Eastbourne, butcher. On 25 October 1711 William Copper of Westham, now a bricklayer, agreed to sell the four-acre field belonging to Gardens to John Kine of Westham, butcher, for £120; the conveyance, in which Copper was joined by his wife Mary and Kine by his only [recte elder] son Thomas, describes the property as late Castreat’s and was executed on 10 and 11 November 1711, the mortgage was assigned to William Plummer of Pevensey, gent, in trust for the purchasers, and a final concord levied in the Pevensey court (4/5-10).
[John Kine died in 1718 WA50.11] and his widow Elizabeth married Stephen Coney of Westham, butcher (4/14).
On 14 December 1731 Thomas Kine, of Clerkenwell in London, mortgaged the field, occupied by his stepfather Stephen Coney, to John Cittizen of Westham, clerk, for £30, increased to £80 (Kine now described as a butcher) on 25 February 1732. On 28 April 1733 Coney released all actions to his stepsons Thomas and John Kine (4/11-13). Thomas Kine was dead by 5 February 1734, when his widow Margaret Kine of Spittalfields released her dower rights to his brother John Kine of Westham, butcher; the consideration of £13 6s 0d was advanced by John Cittizen, who had the same sum paid to him by Kine’s mother Mrs Elizabeth Coney the following day (4/14).
