| Administrative / biographical background: |
A Sussex circuit covering Rye, Winchelsea, Northiam, Bodiam, Robertsbridge and Ewhurst in East Sussex and Sevenoaks, Newbounds, Rolvenden, Woodchurch, Cranbrook, Staplehurst, Chart, Borough Green and Shoreham in Kent was formed in 1774. By 1794 when the circuit was renamed the Rye circuit, societies from Peasmarsh, Staple Cross, Wadhurst and Rotherfield in Sussex and Southborough, Plaxtol, Knockholt, High Halden, Rucking, Tenterden, Ham Street, and Maidstone in Kent had been added though Robertsbridge, Bodiam and some of the Kent societies had lapsed. By 1815 Beckley, Hurst Green, Ticehurst, Mountfield, Westfield, Brede, Guestling, Sedlescombe, Iden, East Guldeford had been added together with Wittersham, Shadoxhurst, Bethersden, Appledore Mersham, Milkhouse, East-End, Biddenden, Sandhurst, Hawkhurst and Brenzett in Kent. In 1878 the circuit contained societies in Rye, Winchelsea, Beckley, Peasmarsh, Iden, Udimore in East Sussex and Wittersham, Brookland, New Romney, Lydd and Camber in Kent. In 1966 the circuit was merged with the Hastings circuit Meetings/Societies in the Sussex/Rye Wesleyan Circuit, 1774-1815 (from NMA/4/1/1-2) Dates are those of lists of members (or of summary lists of societies). Plainly several in the Sevenoaks/Tonbridge/Maidstone area were separated off after 1802. In 1816 the Rye Circuit was divided between Rye and Sandhurst Circuits (for the latter see NMA/13) Sussex Meetings Beckley 1801-2, 1811-15 Bodiams 1774-1780 Brede 1810-1815 Dallington 1814 Ewhurst (Green) 1774-1815 Guestling 1811-1815 ('given up') Guldeford & Iden 1815 Hurst Green 1808-1815 Mountfield 1810-1815 Northiam (Street) 1774-81, 1792-1815 Peasmarsh 1777-84, 1795-1815 Robertsbridge 1774-91, 1810-15 Rotherfield 1794-1802 Rye 1774-1815 Sedlescombe 1813-1815 Staple Cross 1788-1815 Tanhouse (Northiam) 1810-1815 Ticehurst 1810-1815 Wadhurst 1792-6, 1810-15 Westfield 1811-1815 Winchelsea 1774-1815 Kent Meetings Aldington 1807 Appledore 1810-1815 Benenden (Street) 1801-1815 Biddenden 1804-1815 Borough Green 1774-1781 Brenzett 1815 Chart 1774-5, 1810-11 Chart Sutton 1780-1784 Cranbrook 1774-1784 Crockham Hill 1776 Crouch 1801-1802 Dartford 1802 East End 1812-1815 East Malling 1783-1790 East Sutton 1776-1788 (High) Halden 1791-1815 Ham Street 1794-1815 Hawkhurst 1812-1815 Hook Green 1801-1802 Knockholt 1786-1802 Leybourne 1779-1782 Maidstone 1795-1802 Malling 1801-1802 Mersham 1808-1815 Milkhouse 1807-1815 Newbounds 1774-1777 Otford (earlier see Shoreham) 1801-1802 Peckham 1801-1802 Plaxtol 1782-1796 Rolvenden 1774, 1810-1815 Ruckinge 1793-1815 Sandhurst 1805-1815 Sevenoaks 1774-1802 Sevenoaks Weald 1801-1802 Shadoxhurst 1812-1815 Shoreham 1774-1802 Southborough 1779-1802 Staplehurst 1774-1793 Tenterden 1793-1815 Tonbridge 1802 Warehorn 1779-1793 Westerham 1779-1780 Wittersham 1801-1815 Woodchurch 1774-1815 Military Meetings N.
