Heathfield Chapel, Sussex -memorial?
« on: Tuesday 01 July 08 12:43 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Does anyone know the Heathfield Chapel in Sussex? Is it still there? My third great grandfather was the Reverend there and there is apparently a memorial to him outside. His name was Rev James Pert

If anyone had a picture of the chapel, or was able to take one of the memorial I would be so grateful  :D

Hi LittleLondoner

It most certainly is still there.  I pass it on my way home from work sometimes, I will see if I can organise to take my camera and get a picture of the chapel.  Do you know anything about the memorial - how big, front or back???

thanks for the info Toni - that's really helpful :D

Kerry, that would be great! I believe that both the memorial plaque and the grave are by the church entrance. His name was Reverend James Pert and I believe his wife was Evelyn or similar, but I have nothing else to go on yet. only a note from my grandmother to say that the congreagtion paid for a memorial plaque. If I can find any other info, i will post it on here.
Thank you so much for the offer; I would love to see it :)

Hi LittleLondener

Got a couple of shots of the Chapel this morning on the way to work, inbetween rain showers  :-\ If you send a private message with your email address I'll email them across to you.

Had a quick look for James Pert but couldn't see anything.  I need to go back at some point and have a more thorough look, and maybe when its not raining  ::) ::)
