My family were the Beards from the shop on the green next to the church. They had the shop from around 1754 to around the 1930s. George Beard the first was good friends with Thomas Turner who kept a diary, he recorded eleven colourful years of life in a Georgian village. Anyone who remembers them please keep in touch, I would love to hear your story. My grandmother was Evelyn Emma Beard / Kirkham.
Thanks for your help.

RE: RE: The Beards of Chailey Green Shop

Hi, I am intrested in the Beards friend THOMAS TURNER, I am trying to locate my great-great-grandfather HENRY TURNER (born about 1805/06), mother and father who lived in Barcombe. He was born we believe at Barcombe, possibly Chailey, and moved to Ringmer and lived at the chapel house on the Broyl, and was a master brick maker. If Thomas Turner has any information in his diary I would love to hear from you. It must be an amazing read. Yours hopefully.
