Dist:0.6km north<br/>Constructed in the spring of 1943 as an advanced airfield landing ground to help the D Day landings. It closed down after the war and was reactivated in 1963 by a local farmer as a landing strip for his own planes. From that point it grew as more people wished to have a base for their planes.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>This is a huge church for such a small community with a massive buttressed tower. When I visited the church the bell-ringers were practising and the beautiful peals of the bells were ringing out from the tower.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>This house is actually called "The Old Cottage" and dates from the 17th century or maybe earlier. The cottage has an extended and gabled porch and the whole building is timber framed with herring-bone brick infill. (This would have originally been plastered or painted)

Dist:0.7km north<br/>Looking south from Ripe Lane. The village store is to the left, the pub straight ahead. The road to the east goes to Chalvington, the road to the west eventually makes its way to the A27.
