Edward, a drillman, moved from Suffolk and settled at Little Common Farm, Tillington. He brought with him a Smythe Corn Drill. This machine was a novelty in West Sussex and intrigued the farmers of the district. Edward decided an impromptu demonstration of the machine at the weekly Petworth market would be to his advantage. Local farmers wanted to borrow or buy this mechanised seed drill and Edward imported six further machines from Suffolk and he reaped a rich harvest by hiring them out to farmers around the area.
The mechanised seed drill was invented by Jethro Tull, and Edward's machine was of similar design. When Edward died in 1868, the drills passed to his eldest son William.

I've read with interest the well researched Barham Family History which ends when Maude married Herbert Pullen.
I would like to add that Herbert and Maude had one son, Leslie, who was my father.
I showed my Mum this and she thinks that when Frederick Barham passed away it was Maude and not his wife Constance that took over the running of The Horsegaurds pub in Tillington.
I hope this is of use.
Yours Sincerely
John Pullen.
