Old Whyly Old Whyly is a 17th Century manor house. It is mentioned numerous times in The Diary of Thomas Turner 1754-1765, in East Hoathly. Thomas Turner frequently visited Jeremiah French, the tenant farmer, at Whyly mostly for evenings playing cards and heavy drinking. He invariably returned home inebriated and on several occasions his wife had to be carried home on a gate!
