Robertsbridge
Robertsbridge is a village in the civil parish of Salehurst and Robertsbridge, and the Rother district of East Sussex, England. It is approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of Hastings and 13 miles (21 km) south-east of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The River Rother passes through the village. History The village is thought to date back to 1176 when a Cistercian abbey was founded there by the Abbot, Robert de St Martin. When a market charter was granted in 1198 by Richard I to Robertsbridge (''Pons Roberti'' in Latin) it was the first recorded use of the name. The abbey was dissolved in 1538; however, the town flourished, and many of the oldest existing houses in the village date from the 14th and 15th centuries, including The Seven Stars Inn in the High Street. From the village was discovered the Robertsbridge Codex (1360), a music manuscript from the 14th century. It contains the earliest surviving music written specifically for keyboard.

Robert Streatfeild
Robert Streatfeild (1514 - March 1599) of Chiddingstone, Kent is the earliest known ancestor to which most known Streatfeilds and Streatfields can trace their ancestry, and the progenitor of the Streatfeild family. Origins Robert Streatfeild was born in 1514. He lived all his life, as far as is known, in the village of Chiddingstone, in the Weald of Kent. He therefore grew up at the height of Henry VIII’s reign when Anne Boleyn was living at nearby Hever Castle. There is no record of his parents, though it is probable that his ancestors had been in the area for several generations. Occupation Robert was known as an ironmaster. The Weald was the centre of the medieval iron industry, which seems to have been the economic base of both the village as a whole and the Streatfeild family. He laid the foundation for the family’s involvement in the iron industry in which his grandson, Richard, made his fortune. Family Robert married a daughter of Richard Rivers, steward of Edwar ...
