For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Nan Tuck was a girl who lived in the village of Buxted near Uckfield who was accused of witchcraft. She was found dead in what is now known as Tuck`s Wood hanging from one of the trees. Although what actually happened will never be known, she was more than likely lynched by the villagers who then concocted a story of suicide to cover up their own implications in this tale. Whatever occurred, local legend has it that you may see Nan Tuck running down the lane that bears her name. Still running from the villagers who accused her of witchcraft!
