Brede: The Story of a Sussex Parish was written by a local man, Edmund Austen in 1946 and is an exhaustive study of the local area. Obviously, it only covers events up to 1946, so if you would like to submit information on Brede's post-war history, I would be glad to publish it here.
I have reproduced some selected passages from Edmund Austen's book on this site, with the kind permission of Adams of Rye, the original publishers of the book. They plan to republish it in the not too distant future, so if you are interested, drop them an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

There is also an article on Brede Place by George Snyder, a historian, again re-published with his permission.
