Danehill Parish Historical Society is a group of 100 people who meet to research Danehill, near Uckfield.

The society can trace the area's history back more than 2,500 years although the name Denne (Dane) Hill did not come into use until Saxon times in the 7th Century.

Twelve meetings are held each year, including events with guest speakers and visits to local places of interest.

Meetings take place on the last Tuesday of each month at 8pm in the Danehill Memorial Hall, except in May, June or July when visits take place.

An afternoon walk, usually lasting about two hours, is held on the third Sunday of each month.

The Society also publishes a magazine twice a year.
