About Jacob’s Post
Jacob’s Post is a post outside the old Royal Oak pub just inside the north of Ditchling Common to the east of Burgess Hill, in Lewes district, East Sussex. It is named after a traveling peddler named Jacob Harris (also known by his Jewish name of Yacob Hirsch) who in 1734 killed the landlord of the pub’s wife and a serving maid. The post where he hung took on a life of its own as people believed infertility and other ailments could be cured by touching the post.
