Lindfield, West Sussex
It is situated close to both the natural beauty of the High Weald and to Haywards Heath with its amenities and station on the main London-Brighton railway line.[5][6] The High Street follows an ancient north–south track that has existed for thousands of years, long before the Romans built a major road, the London to Brighton Way, a mile to the west of the village.[8] King Edward III recognised the importance of medieval Lindfield and in 1343 granted the town a royal charter to hold a market every Thursday and two annual eight-day fairs.Later the Henslowe family of Lindfield were actively engaged in the iron milling business in association with Ralph Hogge, parson Levett's former servant and later a major ironmaster in his own right.Kempe renovated and redecorated an Elizabethan manor house near the village which he renamed Old Place,[10] from where he entertained clients and professional partners.[13] The diverse vegetation supports populations of insects and butterflies, which together with autumn fruits, attract visiting birds such as warblers, finches and siskins.The cricket club also play at Hickman's Lane, which also offers an additional senior pitch made available by the Mid-Sussex County Council, and at Great Walstead School.
