More about this scene
Part of Beeding's Bridge is just visible on the small rise at the far western end of the High Street, next to the Bridge Inn on the left. The old King's Head was recorded by 1788, when the Burbeach Hundred Court first held their meetings there. The vestry meetings were also held there during the 1820s and later.

My maternal grandparents, Ernest and Dorothy Bond had the Kings Head in 1955 and through to 1958 My mother was married from here at Christ the King in Steyning. I was born in 1958 and my parents then lived at a little cottage in the High Street called 'The Dilly' Quite a few years have passed! and I have now moved back into Upper Beeding but I find it quite un-nerving that the High Street seems to look almost unchanged!
According to research my Great Grandfather, Frank Langridge was Publican at the Kings Head in 1917, together with wife Elizabeth Jane. I have no information on when he took this pub or when he left but his son, Albert Edward Langridge was killed in Mesapotania on 9th March 1917 whilst serving with the 72nd Co Royal Engineers. I am interested in anyone who has links to the Kings Head at about that time.
