The Hoo, Church Street, is a very large house designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for Alexander Wedderburn in 1902, and is regarded as one of Lutyens finest houses. The main front faces south, away from the street, and is now converted into 11 flats. There is a central range and two projecting wings. Constructed of painted brick with red brick dressings and quoins, all under tile roofs. There are other images at Image and at Image Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1184911 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.
