Commissioners of Sewers for the levels within the Rapes of Pevensey and Hastings
Administrative / biographical background:

The jurisdiction of commissioners of sewers derived from letters patent issued under the Statute of Sewers 1531. Under the terms of the Land Drainage Act 1930 the powers of the sewer commissioners continued in force as an internal drainage board unless or until the commission was determined by a scheme made and approved under part II of the Act. The Cuckmere Catchment Board petitioned for this in 1932.
