These semi-detached houses were built during the 1890s and are now numbered 31 and 33. The latter has been known as Meadowcroft for quite some time and was rented out in 1914 for use as an auxiliary hospital with a capacity for 15 recovering soldiers, by the local vicar who put his wife and daughter in charge. The records for the home during the conflict survive and are kept at the East Sussex Records Office. After the war the building reverted to residential use.
