Glyndebourne

The railway originally ended at Terminus Place (which is hardly surprising), and housing was laid out along the old lane onto the common: this became Western Road, with Summer Heath Road a turning off in the distance of this view. All the houses on the right, apart from the one in the middle distance with two hipped- roofed bay windows, have since been demolished. The 1960s library, together with modern housing estates, have replaced them. The survivor is now a Citizens Advice Bureau and a working men’s club. The recreation ground is on the left.

Half a mile south of the hamlet with the parish church and Chiddingly Place is another small hamlet, Muddles Green, where cottages fringe a small green. All four buildings in this view are Victorian: the one on the left, Birch Cottage, is of the 1860s, and the one behind the telephone pole, Jubilee Cottage, is dated 1887, while the others are of about 1900. Behind the photographer is the 1906 village school, and on the right the green has been enlarged with new houses built in the 1990s, Willetts Field.

This interior view of the church shows the 15th- century nave arcades and chancel arch; the ghost of the original roof line can be seen high above the chancel arch. The medieval roof survives, but it was lifted in 1889 when the Victorian clerestory was added. The Victorian improving biblical text over the chancel arch has been replaced by the more familiar ‘Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life’.

This view is taken from the brick four-centred arch into Market Square. The brick footpath heads towards the porch which, with the south aisle, was added in 1870 to designs by H E Rumble. Above are the round quatrefoil windows of the clerestory added in 1889, which must have made the interior much lighter. On the left are the backs of buildings that front the High Street, while the yews and hollies in this view survive today.

Another view, similar to H6031 (above), shows the brick-paved path and the holly bushes. At the left is a silver birch, which also survives today. The fine 15th-century tower with its Victorian pinnacles is built in local Wealden sandstone; its walls are the least renewed or refaced part of the church, whose three Victorian restorations in 1870, 1878 and 1889 transformed the appearance of the medieval church’s nave and chancel – indeed, the chancel was entirely rebuilt.
