Ninfield
The village is quite linear and centred 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Bexhill-on-Sea where two roads cross: the A269 from Bexhill to Battle and the A271 to Hailsham.[citation needed] A legal record, of 1452, mentioning a Sussex village as "Nempnefeld", may refer to Ninfield.Ninfield was once featured in an episode of the classic comedy The Goon Show entitled The Nadger Plague and first broadcast by the BBC in October 1956.In the episode, set in the 16th century, the residents of Ninfield were left terrified when two carriers of the titular plague, which caused the seats of peoples' trousers to "burn out", arrived in the village.Osborne (d. 1979), painter, artistic print maker, etcher and engraver long settled in Ninfield.
