In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Broadhurst like this:
Broadhurst, hamlet, in par. and 1½ mile N. of Horsted-Keynes, E. Sussex; here Archhishop Leighton, primate of Glasgow (1613-1684), resided for ten years after his resignation of his mitre.
Broadhurst is now part of MID SUSSEX District. Click here for graphs and data of how MID SUSSEX has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Broadhurst itself, go to Statistics.
