History
 

Richard Johnson shopkeeper sold the Bateman's estate in March 1773 to the Salehurst shopkeeper John Freeland (1732-1811) of Hurst Green for £950; the property was then described as 'a house and land (80 acres) called Bateman's, Lanebridge, Merihams and Highland formerly occupied by Rogers, then John Langridge and now Elizabeth Langridge'. In 1785, John Freeland is recorded as owner/occupier of Bateman's with a Land Tax value of £23. Two years later, in March 1787, he conveyed the estate (upon which he had built a house occupied by Sutton) to Robert Pattenden (1754-1821), yeoman for £1,050 borrowed from his step-father, John Freeland. Robert Pattenden had married John Freeland's stepdaughter Mary Blundell (1757-1789) in 1785 and already occupied a windmill which he had built on the land.

Robert Pattenden and family lived at Batemans until his death in June 1821. He married four times - Mary his first wife died in 1789 and bore four children two of whom died in infancy; his second wife, Frances Squiers he married in 1791 but she died two years later along with their only son John; and his third wife, the widowed Margaret Johnson, he married in 1794 and she bore him four children before she died in 1804; and finally his fourth wife, the widowed Ann Blackford he married in 1806 but there were no children and she outlived him and died in 1829. Robert and his first three wives and two of the children from the first marriage are buried at St. Bartholomews Church in Burwash.

After Robert's death the estate was conveyed in March 1824 to Richard Smith Appleyard of Great St. James Street, Bedford Row, London. Windmill Field was sold for £530 and Bateman's with the remaining 40 acres of land for £1,270.

Robert Pattenden's son John continued to farm at Bateman's as a tenant. He married Mary Glyde Reeves in 1824 and she, now widowed, and children are on the 1841 census as the farmer at Bateman's Farm
