Looking east along the village green and B2192. Ringmer was not originally the principal village of the area but a common for the farmers of Rushy Green, Ashton Green, Norlington and Wellingham to graze their livestock on. However, Ringmer soon became the parochial centre, and from the enclosures onwards the village grew, particularly after two turnpikes (nowadays the B2192 and B2124) were driven through the common in the 1740s. Now it's the principal village and the others have become small sleepy hamlets.
