All that part of the Parish of Burwash comprising the East and South side of the Turnpike Road leading from Boarders Hill to the Village, the South side of the Village , all the South side of Willingford Lane bounded by a branch of the River Rother on the South side thereof (including the Rectory, the Tott, Court Barn, Batemans, Burnt House and Judens Farms).
Please note:

These census records have been transcribed from images of the original census sheets. Whilst all care has been taken, the result is an interpretation of the original which is available at Local Record Offices, from The National Archives, and from ancestry.co.uk
Occupation has been unified (e.g. Ag Lab, Farm Lab, and many other such recordings are all displayed as Farm labourer).
The Sheet Number is as shown on the original document and is linked to a page showing all the entries on that Sheet (as well as entries from the following or previous sheet where the entry for the location covers more than one sheet).
In those instances where the Census entry is incorrect or missing and it has been possible from other sources to derive a correction, then these changes are shown inside square brackets, e.g. [Wife]
