1858
Members of the Sussex Archaeological Society
"We may fairly ascribe the origin of the Society to the discovery, in
the autumn of 1845, of the remains of Gundrada and De Warenne at Lewes
Priory. That remarkable exhumation of the illustrious and long-buried
dead, excited a deep and long-sustained interest, not only in the
history of those noble personages, but also in the annals of the
monastery they had founded, and in many cognate but hitherto
much-neglected matters of research." By 1858 the membership had risen
to about 550, and the tenth volume of Sussex Archaeological Collections
had been published. The membership list gives christian name or initials
and surname, and address. An asterisk prefixed to a name denotes a Life
Compounder.
