This antique map, created in 1665 and titled ‘Svthsexia, Vernacule Svssex’, depicts the county of Sussex in the south of England during the early 17th century. The title translates to ‘Sussex, in the vernacular Sussex’. At this time, the United Kingdom was still in its infancy, having only been officially established in 1603 with the union of England and Scotland under James VI and I. The country was still largely agricultural, with small towns and villages scattered throughout the countryside. The coastline was important for trade and defence, with busy ports such as Brighton depicted on the map. The central area of the county, where Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill are located, was known for its fertile farmland and prosperous market towns. The map provides a fascinating glimpse into what life was like in this corner of England over 350 years ago.
