More about this scene
Burwash was a centre for Sussex iron making. After the iron industry ceased production, the locality was less prosperous; the common became notorious for 18th-century lawlessness. Batemans was built in 1634 for an ironmaster; later it was the home of Rudyard Kipling (1902-1936). It is a beautiful Jacobean house, now in the care of the National Trust and open to visitors. Kipling's literary work 'Puck of Pook's Hill' (1906) is set in the area. Park Mill, a watermill built in 1795, became part of Batemans and is restored to working order. Burghurst manor house is opposite the church. Rampydene is a fine brick house built in 1699. The church of St Bartholomew is on the left of the picture, partly hidden by Scots Pine trees.
