Etymology
Follers Manor House (6″). This name would seem to have been due to a mistake, perhaps originally a map-blunder (though the local name is Follers right enough), for we have references to Tollards manor in Alfriston in 1521 (Coles Collection, iv. 158), to Tollers in Frogferle t. Hy 8 (SRS 14, 82), to the manor of Tollers t. Hy 8DuLa and four times (1573–1796) in SRS 20 and in a Will of 1665, all deriving apparently from the family of Wm Tollere who was a tenant in Alfriston in 1409 (FM ) (W.B.).
