Dist:0.4km<br/>On the High Street and dating from Georgian times. When built the village of Buxted was still grouped around St Margarets Church in what is now Buxted Park. However, the residents were forced out in the early 19th century when the then owner Lord Liverpool decided he wanted to extend the park and have a little more isolation. Consequently, the village moved to its current spot on the A272 and was anchored firmly by the arrival of the railway in the 1850s. To the right of the gate the original mounting block for the owners to get on their horses is still in situ.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The locality is so-named because stray animals were kept in an enclosure until their owners came to claim them. This fine specimen is next to the A272.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This Victorian church is in the centre of the village, whereas the medieval church of St Margaret is some distance away. St Mary's was built at the behest of Fr Wagner, a priest in Brighton who was responsible for the building of many of that city's Victorian churches. He used the vicarage in Buxted as a country retreat and the church effectively served as a private chapel for Fr Wagner, though as with elsewhere, the local community can thank him for building such a beautiful church for the use of the village. The church has a Walsingham chapel which is said to be the same size as the Holy House at that place of pilgrimage and is visited as a place of pilgrimage itself.
