Wittering (East or West) is in West Sussex, close to Hampshire and on the coast. (We occasionally went there to the beach when I was little) Witherenden is in East Sussex, inland. I was interested in your Lindsay of Crawford remark as it is a Scots title but the family had a base in the northwest of England, (300 miles away from Sussex) notably Wigan in Lancashire where I lived for nearly 30 years and many of the names, Crawford, Balcarres, Lindsay are used all over the town. Haigh Hall is now a replacement, early 19th century building after an earlier Earl mined too close to the building and it fell down! It now belongs to the people - the local council and the park especially is very well used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Crawford Jean > Date: Sat, 21 May 2011 10:03:51 +1200 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [SXP] Fwd: Bygone Wittering Exhibition > > Hello from New Zealand > > Is this place WITTERING connected to WITHERENDEN near Ticehurst > where my 14th gt grandfather Sir Adam NEWINGTON B circa 1440 / 1450 > please.....?? > > Have searched for his lineage for over thirty years (His Armorials > incude LINDSAY OF CRAWFORD) > > Sir Adam NEWINGTON married Alice CULPEPER of Bedgebury in 1481 > > Kind regards from > > Maree S.
