This part of Pyecombe grew up in the 16th century when the population deserted the older medieval settlement around the church possibly due to an outbreak of plague. Consequently, the oldest buildings, bar the church, are found in this part. With the growing importance of London-Brighton communications in the late 18th century the older, deserted part found itself growing again until it became the more populated part of the village once more.
