Cuckfield is in a rural area and so I thought I would look to see how many Cuckfield parish residents put Gamekeepers as their occupation. I used Find My Past for this information.

I found when I looked at gamekeepers last year I found a high turnover also. The same for policemen. I think probably not a lot of friends in the community and often faced with violence. https://anneyoungau.wordpress.com/2024/04/08/g-is-for-gamekeepers-and-poachers/
