  Wealden Iron Research Group Home Page
Iron was made in the Weald from pre-Roman times until the beginning of the 19th century.
Its legacy is recalled by a host of place names, such as Minepit Wood and Forge Lane, by the hammer and furnace ponds which survive in the landscape, and by the cast-iron graveslabs and firebacks that can be seen, respectively, in Wealden churches and farmhouses.
Since 1968 when it was established, much of this work has been carried out by the Wealden Iron Research Group (WIRG).

 Wealden Planning
Norman Baker, MP for Lewes, has today written to Charles Lant, Chief Executive of Wealden District Council to express his concerns at the way, Wealden District Council determines planning applications, saying too often the voice of local people is ignored.
The present scheme at Wealden District Council does not specify exactly what course of action should be taken if a particular application receives a certain number of objections.
Norman also feels that there is a further contradiction in Wealden’s scheme in that when a matter is brought before committee, the relevant local member is not allowed a voice at that committee, where as, on the other hand he or she is effectively given decision-making powers for applications which are delegated.

 Wealden Broadcloth 1331AD - 1566AD - VillageNet History
In the early 1300's Edward I put a tax on the export of wool, which was one of Englands largest exports of the time.
In 1566 an Act of Parliament was passed which prohibited the export of unfinished cloths, this was intended to create work and wealth in the clothing manufacturing industry.
Most of the Wealden Broadcloth industry was centered around exporting, with only a few local markets.This banning of the export trade basically killed off the industry that brought great riches to the area.

 "Fossils of Piltdown"
The first fossil thought to be a Wealden mammalian tooth (M13134) was found by Charles Dawson in a bone bed within the Wadhurst Clay exposed in the 'Old Roar Quarry' near Hastings.
The presence of a single pulp cavity in the root reduces the probability that the tooth is a plagiaulacid molar, which has two roots, and strongly suggests that it is not the tooth of a mammal.
After 1911 no more Wealden mammalian fossils were discovered until 1960; but interest in the stratigraphy and the fauna of the Wealden did not decline.

 WIRG - A Brief History of Wealden Iron
It is hard to picture the former iron industry in today's countryside of small fields, woodlands and steep, narrow, gill valleys.
The Wealden geology of sands and clays yielded the iron ore, as well as the stone and brick to build the furnaces; the woodland provided the charcoal fuel; and the numerous small streams and valleys ensured water power for the bellows and hammers of the forges and furnaces.
As competition from imported iron increased, the Wealden ironmasters began to concentrate increasingly on gun founding, and examples can be found all over the world, wherever Britain fought or traded.
