More about this scene

Buxted Park is north-east of Uckfield; the medieval parish church, dedicated to St Margaret of Scotland, a rare dedication, sits in isolation in the park near the mansion, Buxted Place. The Georgian house was mostly destroyed by fire in 1940, and was largely rebuilt with two instead of three storeys. The church has no accompanying village, for Lord Liverpool, who owned the estate in the 1830s, eventually succeeded in removing the village in the interests of his privacy, rebuilding it near the railway station.
