Lindfield, (West Sussex)

Parish picture

All Saints is a fine cruciform church, rather too over restored by the Victorians.

The Tiger Inn is mentioned in the 1840 Pigot's directory for Lindfield, but is today used by parishioners as additional accommodation for church activities.

Parish picture

The village of Lindfield has a very picturesque pond at its centre, surrounded by attractive houses. Perhaps this has assisted the village in its many wins in the Best Kept Village competition!

The United Reformed Church is situated in the main street.

Lindfield is also well known for its great Bonfire Celebrations each year when a procession of people with lighted torches parade around the whole village prior to the ritual lighting of the bonfire and a great firework display.
