Sheena Tyler-Russell

J Wagstaff Ltd

Peacehaven Chamber is pleased to welcome Chamber members J Wagstaff Ltd to give a talk on Tuesday, 3 June 2025. Sheena has forwarded a wealth of information on the history of Wagstaff's, which we would like to share with you.

Mr Isaac Wagstaff came to the South from Yorkshire and was a Joiner, who had completed his indentures in Leeds before moving South to Peacehaven. He identified a need within the growing community for an undertaker and, like most undertakers at the time, undertook funeral work as well as carpentry and building work. He established the business in 1911.

• In 1920, John [Jack] Wagstaff was born in the new town of Peacehaven. He was the first child to be in the new town, and continued into his 90th year to have an active interest in the Family Company. In later years, he was responsible for bringing together pupils from the local 'Tin School'.
• Jack and Margaret married in 1944 and have four children, three daughters and one son. Noreen and Alistar remain today, alongside Noreen's daughter Hanna. Jack & Margaret continued to live and work within the community of Peacehaven throughout their married life.
• We at Wagstaff’s have always considered it an honour and privilege that families choose us to look after them at this time of bereavement.
• Our reputation is extremely important to us; therefore consider professional and courteous service should be paramount on all occasions.
• When small independent funeral services are being taken over by the larger national companies, we are proud to continue as a truly local, independent, family-owned and run business, looking out for our clients’ best interests at all times.
• We have 2 chapels available for services at our Peacehaven branch.

Sheena would welcome any questions beforehand that she can read out and answer on the day.

If you would like to participate, please forward your question to Paula at secretary@peacehavenchamber.co.uk and I will compile a list and send to Sheena in advance.
