The tithes of West Dean were commuted in 1843 at £410, and 

 those of East Grimstead at £215 ; the Rector's glebe [at the former 

 place one hundred and two acres, and at the latter twenty-eight 

 acres] has been reduced, in consequence of an exchange in 1882 with 

 William Henry Baring, of Norman Court, Esq., by four and a half 

 acres. The land tax on the rectorial property at both places, 

 assessed in 1740 at £24, was redeemed in 1798 at the same amount 

 by the Rev. Edward Dawkins.
