URPoint Details
A village of old houses, many from the Tudor and Stuart periods and some are even older.
Rudyard Kipling lived here in this outstandingly attractive village on a ridge between the Rivers Rother and Dudwell.
There is a lovely drive across Dudwell Valley through forests of firs and gypsum mines.
The Parish Church of St Bartholmew has a Norman tower and windows and a 15th century octagonal font. On a wall near the south door is a small plaque to the memory of Kipling’s son, John, killed at the age of 18 at the battle of Loos in 1915.
