Edwin Matthias, a former Rector of the Parish. It can be accessed online here or alternatively copies can be purchased for £4.50 through the Church and at various outlets and societies in the village or from the Chailey Heritage Enterprise Centre (contact Graham Barber on telephone 01825 724376). The proceeds are used to benefit the disabled young people who work at the Centre.
