Who Built Brunswick Square?
the reference books will tell you that the records are inconsistent, but the
Cheesman family were there. My research has brought me to the conclusion that
they built the first house of what is possibly the greatest Regency development
in the land!

newspaper articles related to the fishing industry in Brighton, with approaching
a hundred hits under 'Cheesman'. Unfortunately it is only accessible at the
museum.

Does what it says on the tin!
Church Plans Online
The Lambeth Palace Library, the record office for the history of the Church
of England, have made available plans for Parish Churches. I would argue with
their interpretaion of which George was responsible for which aspect of the
building, but the site offers a fascinating insight.
East Sussex Records Office
There are separate Records Offices for East and West Sussex, but most records
for the Brighton area are here. It is situated in Lewes, Sussex.
