The old island of Ebony was once surrounded by water until about 1650 the River Rother flowed through Robertsbridge, Bodiam and Newenden, as it still does, but then turned left handed to pass the Isle of Oxney on its north side. After passing Smallhythe it forked at Ebony surrounding it on both sides and then in a broad estuary founds its way to the sea past Appledore into Rye Harbour. The river was tidal and at high tides the salt water swirled all over the levels, leaving Ebony isolated by a sea of water. All this changed when the landowners wanting to increase the value of their land, after much litigation and great expense, cut a new channel below Newenden to divert the Rother to its present course over the Wittersham levels to Iden and its old estuary at Rye.^[2] // Events June 23 - Claimant King Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland arrives in Scotland, the only of the three Kingdoms that has accepted him as ruler. ...

The village has a small church, St Mary the Virgin, which was moved to its present site in Reading Street in 1858. The population had deserted the island for the hamlet of Reading Street, the nearest house was three quarters of a mile away and the fabric of the church was in bad need of repair. The new Vicar and his Churchwarden decided to pull the old building down to move the stone work by horse and cart over a rough track, and to build it on its current site. The whole job was done in three months at a cost of £270.^[2] A church building (or simply church) is a building used in Christian worship. ...
