Our village is in mourning. Our immensely popular family butcher closes forever this Saturday.
The business has existed for over 150 years. Thomas Jarvis was a Victorian local farmer. When houses cost almost nothing, he clubbed together with fellow-agriculturalists to buy Bateman’s, Rudyard Kipling’s future house. In 1870, he opened a butcher’s shop in the neighbouring village of Burwash. It did well. In 1900, he started a second one in our village, Etchingham.
Thomas built a combined shop and house for his son Albert, just returned from service with the Royal Sussex Regiment in the Boer war. Near the counter still hangs a photograph of Albert, prosperous and suitably butcher-like in apron, cap and Edwardian moustache, flanking the game that hangs outside the window. To this day, the glass proclaims “A Jarvis” in the ornate lettering of the period.

This is a prime example of law enforcement at its best, with our partners at the local, county, state and federal levels coming together – working tirelessly for more than three weeks – to capture a fugitive from justice. Their collaboration and perseverance certainly paid off today, Billhimer said.
