This site contains details of my forefathers, the Ridleys, who have remained in the Ashdown Forest area for more than two hundred years.It includes writings by other Ridleys which I reproduce here to keep the information in the public domain (rather than a dusty file!).
If you have any more information on, or tales of, the Ridley families of Nutley and Maresfield, or indeed the Hobden families of those villages, I would be pleased to receive them.
