This house is notable for having been the original Trevor Arms in Glynde village. It had been part of an ancient tenementRented dwelling
or land called Chambers until 1721 when Mary Burdett of Arlington, widow, sold the house, separately from the land that went with the tenementRented dwelling
or land, to John Weller of Glynde, weaver. In an account book of John Trevor, then owner of the Glynde Estate, John Weller was paid 4s 10d for small beer on 10 October 1741. This suggests that Weller may have been keeping a pub, or at least brewing beer on the premises, as a supplement to his occupation as a weaver.

John Weller died in 1745 and left the property to his son William, a carpenter, who had been born in 1708 and was apprenticed to John Smith of Herstmonceux, carpenter, in 1723 for 7 years. William Weller would, in turn, take John Wisdom the elder as an apprentice. William Weller and Stone Tuppen had the contract to remove the barn next to Glynde Church in 1755 and set it up on the western side of Glynde Street near Pigeon House at a site still known as New Barn. William Wisdom, in his book of memoranda wrote about a man named Weller keeping a ‘publick’ at Glynde’ in his (Wisdom’s) father’s time so it is likely that both John and William Weller kept a pub at this house from as early as 1741.

William Weller died in 1763 and left the property to his only surviving daughter, Mary, who had married a John Smith in 1765 at St Thomas in the Cliffe. The Smiths let the house, first to Thomas Wakelin and then to John Wisdom the younger, eventually selling it to William Homewood by 1789. Homewood in turn sold to Scrace and Chitty of Lewes, brewers and they opened the house as a pub in 1793, naming it the Trevor Arms.

Although the house was not yet owned by the Glynde Estate they paid for the sign for the new inn. On 14 September 1793 James Lambert of Lewes, painter, billed the Glynde estate for ‘painting a sign on both sides the Trevor Arms with gold ornaments, name wrote Batcock, £3 13s 6d, board mahogany and ironwork screwing on etc £1 5s, total £4 18s 6d’. The first tenant of the inn was J Batcock but he was succeeded by James Pring for a year in 1795 and then William Homewood returned as the tenant until 1804. By this date John Ellman, was not only the farmer of all the major farms in the parish but was also agent for Thomas Viscount Hampden, then owner of the Glynde Estate. Ellman disapproved of his workers drinking in ale houses so in 1804 the property was purchased by the Glynde Estate and converted into three cottages, now called Rambler, Rosemary and Orchard Cottages.
