SALEHURST, a parish in the hundred of HENHURST,
rape of HASTINGS, county of SUSSEX, 1
mile (N.E.) from Robertsbridge, containing, with
Robertsbridge, 2121 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage,
in the archdeaconry of Lewes, and diocese of Chichester,
rated in the king's books at £ 14, and in the
patronage of S. B. P. Micklethwaite, Esq. The church,
dedicated to St. Mary, exhibits portions in the early
and later styles of English architecture. The river
Rother runs through the parish, and is here crossed by
a bridge. John Cooper, in 1699, devised land for the
establishment of a free school, which, by the returns
made to parliament in 1786, was of the annual value of
£45, but the donor's directions have never been complied
with.
