The Reverend W.D. Parish
The Reverend W.D. Parish was the vicar of Selmeston; although not a great deal is known about him, he seemed to be more interested in lexicography than soul saving, noting down Sussex usage from old lays and even the smugglers who stored contraband in the church crypt.
Lynne Truss Although born in Surrey, Lynne Truss has impeccable Sussex credentials, as she is a long-time Brighton resident, is on the board of the Charleston Trust, is a Patron of the Asham Trust, has an honorary degree from the University of Brighton and has written
a critical introduction to Cold Comfort Farm, Sussex’s literary classic. As the author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves, she is the ideal person to introduce us into the world of the Reverend W.D. Parish.
