More about this scene

This village has grown around a road junction on the Horsham to Brighton road. The church has a fine Horsham stone roof and a large brass on the floor of the nave to Thomas Noland, Prior of the Cluniac St Pancras at Lewes, who died in 1433. A line of large and small cottages face onto the churchyard, which has many old yew trees. St Peter's Cottage, once a priest's house and now a restaurant, has an inglenook fireplace with a cast iron Sussex fireback of 1657. To the south, St Hugh's Carthusian monastery, consecrated in 1880, has a very visible tall spire. The monastery is still in use.

My memories of growing up in Cowfold are of going to school at St Peter's and walking through the churchyard to get there and back! Also the allotments at the back of the school. My mum used to make picnics for us to sit and eat in the playing field as we lived in Fairfield Cottages and I was never allowed to go on the big slide in the playing field as it was too high!
