Peasmarsh

Peasmarsh is a small village in East Sussex, in England. Bordering Kent it is between Sandhurst, Northiam and Wittersham of that county and Rye of East Sussex.

Peasmarsh has a Norman church with a bell that dates from the 1680s and an inscription of the Lord's Prayer on a wall which dates to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

A Dr John Lettuce who was the vicar at the church in the early 1800's created what is known as The Lettuce Plan, where in the event Napoleon was to invade then - to maximise efficiency - the evacuation of the people would take a different route to where the soldiers would be marching. This plan was revived 140 years later in the Second World War, where it was to be used if Hitler had invaded.

Peasmarsh is also home to the country estate of Sir Paul McCartney.
