The line of bushes to the right marks the old parish boundary between Beddingham on this side and Tarring Neville on the other though the land here is now part of the latter.

Dist:0.4km<br/>From left to right the dwellings are; River House, The Lair and Kiln Cottage with Headlands perched on the cliff above. The round conical tower behind The Lair is a former brick kiln that was rebuilt from original materials in 1982 and is a remnant of a former brick and tile works that once existed on the site. The brickyard was opened in the early 19th century and survived, albeit as a whiting works, to 1913. Headlands is built on top of the old chalk quarry that served the site whilst Kiln Cottage to the right was built in the 1920s and originally known as Brickyard House. A small wharf existed out of shot to the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This is one of three churches on the Ouse that have round towers (the others are in Lewes and Southease) There are various theories why the tower is round; it may have once been used as a beacon to warn local people of a French invasion or it may have simply been the case that a round tower is cheaper to build.
