Email: Nobody yet! Why don't you volunteer?.

St Mary the Virgin Parish Church, Hartfield, East Sussex. Parts of the building date frolm the 1250's. A most unusual black and white timbered house lies at the entrance to the churchyard which incorporates a lych-gate.

Hartfield lies on the northern edge of the Ashdown Forest , and is probably named due to the number of deer (hart) that abounded in the area, when the Ashdown Forest was a royal deer hunting park.

The old Wesleyan Chapel is now a residence.

A chapel of ease was built at Holtye Common in the north of the parish, dedicated to St Peter, and is now in the parish of Hammerwood & Holtye.

The village grew from its agricultural roots until it became a centre for iron and timber. The village had a furnace and forge in the valley to the north.

In 1905 the village saw the arrival of the Milne family who bought Cotchford Farm. A small bridge was built over the stream at the end of their land in 1907. A young Christopher Robin Milne visited the shops in the village with his nanny in the 1920's, his father A. A. Milne wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories which incorporated the young Christopher with the bridge on the farm being the place where the game Poohsticks was invented.
