A quaint village on the flank of a historical landmark is home to more heritage than meets the eye.

Glynde, an East Sussex village two miles from Lewes, is tucked away in the South Downs and offers a look into the county’s agricultural past.

Camera club member Philip Carter took a trip to the village this week and captured its nostalgic appeal.

Philip snapped the picturesque views on offer from the village over the South Downs National Park, including of Mount Caburn, a Sussex landmark which preserves an Iron Age hill fort at its summit.

At Caburn, Southdown sheep were also first reared by father John Ellman, who lived at Place Farm in Glynde.

The village also contains the mediaeval parish church of St Mary the Virgin, which was rebuilt between 1763 and 1765.

Glynde Place, an Elizabethan Grade I listed manor house, was built in the village in the 16th century and is still home to the Glynde estate today.

The estate has been passed down through generations and now is now under the ownership of Francis and Caroline Hampden, who live there with their three children.

Glynde Railway Station is also a prominent feature of the village, built in 1846 and electrified in 1935.

With over 27 listed Historic England buildings and heaps of heritage, Glynde is a step back into Sussex’s past.
