Birthplace of Andrew Borde

Hearne says, in Wood's _Athenæ_, "that the Doctor was not born at

Pevensey or Pensey, but at Boonds-hill in Holmsdayle, in Sussex."

Should we not read "Borde-hill?" That place belonged to the family of

Borde for many generations. It is in Cuckfield parish. The house may be

seen from the Ouse-Valley Viaduct.
