> John, Great you brought up the topic of the Plague of 1665. It has aways been interesting. concerning the fire of London; It may not have been the reason for the lessening of the Plague, but people believed it. That, I think, from what I've read, is why the people of Rolvenden burned their village down. You Hooe connection slipped my mind. On a different tack concerning Hooe. I know of the Red Lion and the connection to smuggling. If you ever come across anything about this subject from late 1700's to 1820 or so, I'd like to hear. I have seen mention, but no more, on a couple websites. I have suspicions that my 5x great-grandfather was involved. I know many were in one way or another, but he may have been more so. Thanks.
