Dist:0.1km north<br/>Looking east along the village green and B2192. Ringmer was not originally the principal village of the area but a common for the farmers of Rushy Green, Ashton Green, Norlington and Wellingham to graze their livestock on. However, Ringmer soon became the parochial centre, and from the enclosures onwards the village grew, particularly after two turnpikes (nowadays the B2192 and B2124) were driven through the common in the 1740s. Now it's the principal village and the others have become small sleepy hamlets.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>An 18th century house that overlooks the village green. Its most famous resident was Timothy the tortoise wriiten about by Gilbert White the naturalist whose aunt lived here in the 1770s and 80s. When she died White took the tortoise to live with him and when Timothy died the shell was preserved and currently resides in the Natural History Museum in Kensington. The house today is a retirement home.
