More about this scene
A scattered village on a hilltop in the centre of Sussex. Friendly societies began here at the Five Bells Inn in 1782. The Heritage is a specialised health care institution for disabled children with buildings in several locations around the area. High Common was famous for potteries, and bricks are still made in the area. North Common has a white smock windmill reckoned to be the exact centre of Sussex. A temporary World War Two fighter airfield was constructed at Chailey in 1943, with grass runways.
