During The Ashdown Forest Dispute 1876-1882 commoners and land owners were interviewed by the solicitor William Raper. Their comments were recorded in a series of notebooks:

Heasman, Henry. Living at the house called the Chequers in Forest Row. Retired laborer. I was born 14 July 1805 at Little Parrock Farm. I was not baptised till I was grown up. My maternal grandfather named Turk used the Farm and my Father worked for him. When I first recollect anything I was living half way between Little Parrock and Forest Row. When I was about 8 years old, my Father moved to a cottage in the Forest close by Quabrook Common. The house is pulled down now and the land is used by Dick Card. My Father and Mother died there and I continued to live there with my grandfather till I married.
