Fletching is north east of Newick, next to Sheffield Park. This is a
link to
Google maps. The photos on Google are only of Sheffield Park and none of
the village, but you can use Street View to see what it is like. When I did this,
I started north of the village and it seemed funny travelling down leafy lanes with
the words "High Street" written on the road. There is short article on
Wikipedia.
There are several photos on the Geograph site.
I am still researching the Westons of Newick and Fletching, it isn't
easy once you get back before 1800. As I discover where people lived I hope
to add anotated pins to the map to show the locations. This will be an on
going project, but here is the empty map to start with.

I may have to change the map if I find ancestors living in
the outlying areas.
In the woods of the grounds of Sheffield Park is a clearing with a
grey oval in it. Openstreet map doesn't identify this, however far you zoom in,
but if you use Google Map's satellite view, it looks to me like a cricket
ground. [back to Newick]
