A-Z Challenge 2025: April 9th: H for Hatchlands

Hatchlands is a property in Broad Street, Cuckfield and today I am listing the names of the residents whilst it was being occupied by the Paynes who were a prominent family in the village.

In the 1920's the building became the home to the Hatchlands Girls School and is now a small modern housing estate.
