More about this scene
The name of this lane, which runs north from the junction of High Street and Lewes Road, refers to Sackville College. Founded in 1609 by Robert Sackville, Earl of Dorset, as almshouses for twenty-one poor men and ten poor women, it was completed in 1619 in the local sandstone and is set back from the High Street. The cottage on the left has gone, but the stone wall to the street survives, as does the cottage with two bay windows beyond, Hill Cottage. Behind is a tall stone-built water tower of 1914.
