Seen across Eastbourne Road, this building was originally Willingdon village school and school-master's house. The school was converted into the Church Hall in 1953 and the house is now Church House, number 37 Church Street. Built in the mid 19th century of knapped flint with stone dressings and quoins under a tile roof. There is another image of the building at Image Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1028501 Once isolated villages, Upper Willingdon and Lower Willingdon, are now part of the built-up area of Eastbourne. Set on a spur at the foot of the South Downs, the village lies astride the A22 road, about 1 mile south of Polegate. There is evidence of occupation since the pre-Saxon age.
