   They weren't classified by county rather than by religious boundaries   
   and have never been a UK matter, remaining under the three separate   
   legal jurisdictions in the UK (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern   
   Ireland).   
   https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Sussex_Probate_Records   
   gives some information and links regarding wills of a defunct in   
   Sussex.   
   Ancestry has indexing and images of Prerogative Court of Canterbury   
   wills in the National Archives series PROB 11; if their indexing is   
   complete (these seem to be a recent addition) then probably either   
   there wasn't a will or the deceased might have had possessions within   
   the scope of the Prerogative Court of York :-
