The building in view dates from 1926 though the country council had originally purchased the surrounding estate in 1919 to provide education for those entering into agriculture. It grew in size but was closed during the Second World War when it was given over to training land girls before reopening after the conflict. Viewed from Ditchling Road the field in the foreground is called Upper Church Laine.
