Dist:0.1km<br/>Ploughed field north of the village on a slight rise before sloping back down to The Brooks. The land between the foot of the downs and the edge of the marshland has long been a fertile and productive area particularly for cereals. Taken from the footpath that links Iford to the southern edge of Lewes.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Once the area of dairy production for Iford Farm, the Lower Stalls were in the southern part of the village. In the 1990s the farm decided to stop its dairy function and concentrate on wheat, sheep and grazing beef cattle. The buildings were sold off and have been converted to offices. The wall to the left marks the boundary of Iford Grange whilst the cottages beyond the car to the right are Grange Cottages.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This picture was taken standing on the Greenwich meridian looking South. The left half of the image is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the right is in the Western. The meridian passes straight through the middle, see this http://www.riddlerworld.co.uk/meridian/PG0753.htm for an alternate image with the meridian superimposed as a yellow line. The meridian crosses farmland and drops down into Iford. You can see Iford church spire in the trees on the left.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Both the church and hall are in the Norton part of the village. The hall was donated to the village in the 1930s by the Robinson family owners of Iford Farm since the 19th century and still there today.
