This old village in East
Sussex lies on edge of the South Downs near
Brighton and was where the sculptor Eric Gill
established a Roman Catholic arts and crafts
community in the 1920's.
A local museum has a
permanent collection of his calligraphy
designs and woodcuts.
In the village is 16th
century Wings Place, given by Henry V111 to
Anne of Cleves as part of their divorce
settlement.
Nearby is the 813ft Ditchling
Beacon, which affords breathtaking views over
the surrounding countryside. |
