More about this scene

There are connections with the Sussex iron industry, for an ironmaster once lived here. The 17th-century house Birch Grove was the home of Harold Macmillan, the former Prime Minister. Ludwell Grange, built in 1540, is a fine half-timbered house. The Norman church of St Giles is at the north end of the village. Along a footpath nearby is a well-restored watermill with a wooden overshot waterwheel. The railway station is on the Bluebell Line to East Grinstead. The village stores has been made by adapting a house.
