The register image, East Sussex Record Office PAR/497/1/1/3, the Udimore opening for baptisms 1809-1812, folio numbered 13, signed at the foot 'John Myers Perpet. Curate'. This is a pre-1813 free-text register - one line per entry, the surname written in the margin - so the entry is quoted as the three elements it has (margin surname, day, entry). The month is carried by the preceding entry, 'Martin July 15th', under the year heading 1810; the dash stands for the repeated month.

For “Baptised” 25 NOV 1810 of Martha Crossingham

Crassingham | 25 | Martha Dr. of Thos. & Keziah Crassingham

The register image, Udimore baptisms 1809-1812, folio 13. Quoted as the three elements a pre-1813 free-text entry has: margin surname, day, entry. The month comes from the preceding entries under the year 1810, 'Chester Nov. 11' and 'Stace 18'. This baptism was not previously known - Martha had only her Icklesham burial of 5 August 1813 - and it is the earliest record of the family at Udimore, pushing their years there back from 1813 to 1810. The surname is entered CRASSINGHAM, the form used at the 1804 Rye marriage. No birth place is set: the register gives the parish of the ceremony, not where the family lived, and their 'of Brede Minor' abode is only attested from 1813.
