Sussex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sussex is a traditional county in South East England corresponding roughly in area to the ancient Kingdom of Sussex. |
 | | The area of the ancient county is 933,887 acres (3,800 km²), with a population in 1891 of 550,446 and in 1901 of 605,202. |
 | | The decline of the Sussex ironworks probably accounts for the small increase of population during several centuries, although after the massacre of St Bartholomew upwards of 1500 Huguenots landed at Rye, and in 1685, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, many more refugees were added to the county. |
