Having deposited them in 1928, Lord Portman requested in 1939 that the deeds at SAS-PN/1-118 should be handed to Mr Basil Ionides, to whom he had sold Buxted Park. In early 1940 there was a fire at Buxted Place and it was understood that the deeds had been destroyed. In June 1971 two boxes were found by a boy on the demolition site of 101 Leadenhall Street, London EC3. The boxes with 44 of the deeds were restored to the Sussex Archaeological Society on 12 October 1971 and a reward of £25 was paid. Further details are in the Society's correspondence with Walton & Co., solicitors, and others, in July to October 1971
