Hi Christine According to my copy of 'A272 An Ode to a Road' by Pieter Boogaart the pronunciation is 'izvil' (in italics with first i bold). Not sure how authoritative this is but the book is a very good guide to places on or near the A272. Found http://www.archive.org/stream/placenamesofsuss00robeiala/placenamesofsuss00r obeiala_djvu.txt which contains a great deal of information on Sussex place names but it doesn't seem helpful in this particular case.

(next to Barcombe).   Is it pronounced just how it is spelt, or is the 's' not pronounced (like Ifield)?   Any advice much appreciated,   Thank you Christine Jackson, SFHG 397 ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ----- No virus found in this message.
