A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Broadhurst like this:
Broadhurst, hamlet, in par. and 1½ mile N. of Horsted-Keynes, E. Sussex; here Archhishop Leighton, primate of Glasgow (1613-1684), resided for ten years after his resignation of his mitre.
This is the only descriptive gazetter entry we have found, but you may be able to find further references to Broadhurst by doing a full-text search here.
Sorry, but no mentions of this place can be found.
This website includes two large libraries, of historical travel writing and of entries from nineteenth century gazetteers describing places. We have text from these sources available for these places near your location:
