All databases down
An old plugin I was using to execute PHP code no longer works with the latest PHP so I need to find an alternative way of doing it. So please bear with me whilst I find a solution.
Databases back up again
Many apologies, life unfortunately had me running around lately so did not get around to this till now. All databases running properly after being aligned with new SQL server.
Databases down
The site moved to a new server recently and I need to reconfigure all the database access. They will be up and running end of next week.
On the Fuller trail
On the way back from spending the last few days at my dads we decided to stop off in Brightling to look at Mad Jack Fuller’s grave. It is certainly unique and the ideal place for my daughter to get a picture for a book reading competition.
Whilst there we had a look inside the St Thomas a Becket church. Here is a list of rectors, I will transcribe later.
New Webb additions from 1871, 1878 and 1890 for Sussex
I have added the Webbs that are in the 1871 and 1878 Post Office Directory as well as the 1890 Kelly’s Directory of Sussex into the ‘Other Sussex Webbs’ page. Strangely, there were not as many as I thought there were going to be.
St George’s Church, Arreton, Isle of Wight – Memorial Inscriptions
I have just returned from a very hot holiday in the Isle of Wight with the family. Just south east of Newport you can find ‘Arreton Barns’ which hosts a collection of craftsmen and women and their wares. Next to this is St George’s Church which is a wonderful place. I have photographed most of the memorial inscriptions inside the church with varying degrees of quality, but they may be helpful if you have relatives in that area.
