settlements, one called 'Pyecombe' and the other 'Pyecombe Street'. These are
about a quarter of a mile apart. The reason for the gap between the two parts of

in the 17th century which necessitated the temporary abandonment of the main
settlement and its church.”</font></span></p><p style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: ; ORPHANS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" align="justify" class=""><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; COLOR: ; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" class="">Stuart</span></p><p style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: ; ORPHANS: 2; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" align="justify" class=""><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: ; FONT-FAMILY: ; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FLOAT: none; COLOR: ; TEXT-ALIGN: left; ORPHANS: 2; DISPLAY: inline !important; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" class="">(Day
