updated information
portions of emails from Helen, 18 April 2011 - resident at Hawksfold
pointing out additions and corrections to the above article on Hawksfold.

The 'English Heritage' information associated with this article states -
"The north or entrance front has a half-hipped projection at the west end, a central gable, partly jettied on a heavy wooden pillar bearing Salvin's initials......" [above photo]

According to the book about Salvin, by Jill Allibone - and also it looks like it when you inspect the pillar - the initials carved on the pillar are of Salvins four children ....Eliza Anne, Emmeline, Anthony and Osbert
Also, according to Jill Allibone's book, Hawksfold was completed in 1865.

Also Hawksfold is not divided into 6 flats- the actual house is divided into 3 houses now, the adjoining laundry building is occupied by another family too, but maximum 4 properties.
Info referring to 'flats' must have come from a 1950 conveyance which says "as at 1.7.1948 was a single private dwelling house converted into six flats"- would love to know why that was said. It was a single private dwelling house in 1945 and again in 1950 so seems a very strange statement.
