Talk:List of civil parishes in East Sussex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have added a couple more sentences to the opening of this article. It seems to me that other-than-British readers will be very puzzled by the complications raised by the differences in nomenclature for small settlements. There is a List of places in East Sussex which lumps cities (not that there is one!), towns and villages in one list, although entries have to be put in manually; and there is the Category of Villages in East Sussex which is automatic as long as an article is put to it (not all were!). In the case of this article, the reason for my amendment was that some villages are now included within the civil parish name; but then that has happened a great deal with ecclesiastical parishes too, where a living includes anything up to ten such parishes under one vicar.
Further, there is the added complication that, in some cases, the title says that there are two villages involved East Hoathly with Halland* being a good example; or titles such as St John Without or Rye Foreign (no articles as yet) mean little without some knowledge of local political units. The article at might explain the former?

I have now begun to write articles for each of the individual civil parishes, making the reference that they are "village/civil parish" where that is the case; in, for example Chalvington with Ripe (two villages) I have done a second article as well. The articles are very basic, but the hope is at least to get them started. Peter Shearan 13:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
