The Copsford Project, Horam, East Sussex.
Some years ago, I came across a curious book in a bookshop. Over a period of years, from a few clues within its pages, I pieced together where in Sussex the book was written about.
Copsford as it was then called, was a derelict house located on a farm near Horam, in East Sussex. The author Walter J. C. Murray in post war Britain, left the slums of London to embark on an adventure, to rent a dwelling in the countryside for 12 months and harvest medicinal herbs from the lanes, paths and woods of the county.
His year long adventure is recorded in this book.
Occasionally over the years, I have read a book where I've been inspired to visit the locations described. This book was one such publication and in September 2014, I stayed at Dernwood Farm Wild Camping site (the owner assisted my enquiries) for a few days during which I met with the current owner of the land on which Copsford once stood who also owns and runs Copford Sawmill.
There is now a book out on Walter J C Murray -

Horam 1234 (Sussex DIY Punk, 1983)
Horam 1234 was filmed on a Super 8 Cine camera in and around Horam, Sussex, in May 1983. The camera belonged to Nick, who did most of the filming. For many years the film was thought lost...
The housing descended from the opulence of Mr Glue's house, Nick's, the council estate, and finally to a local pig shed.
The transportation went from a flash motor, to Brian and Holly's car, mopeds, and finally a Southdown bus.
Education ranged from Maynards Green School, Heathfield Comprehensive, St Mary's special school, and finally the minibus dropping off the children from a posh school.
And yes, I did do all my own stunts!
The follow-up to Horam 1234 will never be made available, sadly, as Nick forgot to put the film in the camera. It would have been even more of a masterpiece...

Heathfield is a small, affluent market town in East Sussex, England. Heathfield lies near the junction of two main roads: the A267 between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne; and the A265 from Hawkhurst. It is almost equidistant from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne: approximately 16 mi (26 km).
Historically, Heathfield lay on an ancient trackway (The Ridgeway), connecting the South Downs with the Weald. Its market charter was granted in February 1316 during the reign of Edward II. The Wealden iron brought prosperity to the town during the 16th/17th centuries; the coming of the railway (the Cuckoo Line) in 1880 gave it another new lease of life. The latter was not a financial success and the branch line between Eridge and Polegate closed in 1968. The trackbed is now named the Cuckoo Trail, part of the National Cycle Network. The original village — Old Heathfield — is now only part of the town, which has expanded over time.
The parish church in Heathfield is dedicated to All Saints: an example of a Harmer terracotta decorated gravestone is in the churchyard. The town is the home of Heathfield Park Cricket Club, formed in 1878, and enjoying one of the most scenic positions of any cricket ground in Sussex.
The nearby mansion of Heathfield Park dates from the seventeenth century. In a corner of the estate stands a memorial named the Gibraltar Tower. To the north-east, on the edge of the parish, Braylsham Castle is a modern house begun in 1993, built in imitation of a moated medieval manor house, complete with working drawbridge. Approximately one mile from the town is the Heathfield transmitting station, a 135 m high mast which broadcasts TV and radio signals to East and West Sussex, as well as parts of south Kent.
The town holds an annual fair named the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, the annual Heathfield show takes place each May in the summer. Heathfield is the home of Heathfield Community College and several primary schools. Opposite the college is a leisure centre. There is an Anglo/French market called Le Marché held every year on the August Bank Holiday and a fair that visits during the Summer. There is a fairly large football field and beside it a little playground. At Cross-in-Hand there is a rugby club for adults and children.
