The church of St Laurence in Telscombe. The church was given by King Edgar to the Abbey of Hyde, Winchester, in 966. The Norman church contains an early English arcaded font from the 13th century.

Opposite Telscombe Manor and set back from the road behind a walled yard which means photographing straight on is the only possible angle for this building. Built circa 1840 in the style of a Tudor mansion.

The old route from Piddinghoe follows the ridge above the coombe from which the settlement sits at its head and from which it derives its name.

On the lane as it descends steeply into the village. Some parts of the manor date back to the 17th and 18th centuries though the house has been extensively re-worked. The round tower was added in the 20th century.

Taken from outside Hillview and giving some idea of the steep descent the narrow village street makes. Telscombe Manor is on the left.

Four 20th century cottages at the top of the hill prior to the lane descending into the centre of the village. The lane itself is the only way in and out of the village and leaves the C7 at Southease, two miles away.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Dating back to the 12th century with a fascinating tower. Googling for more information merely revealed that this is owned by the National Trust and is/was used as Judges Lodgings. The wind vane, silhouetted against the tower, appears to be a two legged creature with a tail - peacock?
