Reginald Raymond was the gardener for Morton Fisher and stayed on to work for Sir Richard and Lady Harvey. It was to Reginald Raymond that Sir Richard entrusted the keys of the Priory just after he purchased the property and whilst they sold up Bowman’s Farm in Burwash, East Sussex. Raymond and Ralph met up on Friday nights after work. He told Ralph that Rose Tree Cottage in East Chisenbury was a Farriers Cottage. In the 13th century the river Avon waterway in Chisenbury was altered to drive the mill. There were open type of barn sheds in the fields next to priory cottage. They used to put up nets to catch the sparrows by these barns. They made pies with the sparrows and the sparrows would fetch 1 ½ pennies for each sparrow. Ralph thinks Raymond was 70 when Sir Richard bought the Priory. Sir Richard kept him on part-time. Raymond’s father worked at the Priory in the earlier days. Ralph and Raymond dug out the leat21/2ft to 3ft. in 1967 and found at its bed a path of flints that led to the Priory near to the road bridge .Close to the Priory wall. Inside the garden next to the wall whilst they were digging out the new waterway another flint path was found going towards the leat direction and close to the small flint bridge. The flints were flat and were face up and the path was about 21/2 ft. wide. This was also true of the path along side the leat outside the North entrance to the Priory. The small flint bridges in the garden were made by Ralph Palladino after the new lawns were made in 1967.
