About Fencing in Hailsham

Hailsham in East Sussex has roots reaching back to the Neolithic age, with its name likely derived from the Saxon Haegels Ham, meaning the clearing of a man called Haegel or Aella, and the settlement is recorded in the Domesday Book, with evidence suggesting some occupation even before that survey thanks to a Roman road running nearby from Leap Cross. The town received its market charter in 1252, and Hailsham has held markets ever since, growing into a thriving centre for the agricultural land that surrounds it, supporting livestock and crop farming across the district for centuries. A more particular local trade emerged in 1780, when Thomas Burfield set up a string and rope making works in the town, an industry that, alongside earlier tanning, became closely associated with Hailsham through the 19th century.
