Hartfield
Hartfield is a village and civil parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England. The parish also includes the settlements of Colemans Hatch, Hammerwood and Holtye, all lying on the northern edge of Ashdown Forest.
The main village of Hartfield lies seven miles (11.2 km) south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells where the B2110 road between Groombridge and Forest Row meets the B2026 road between Edenbridge and Maresfield.
Hartfield Parish Council consists of 13 members. The population of this ward as taken at the 2011 census was 2,639.
Hartfield is the main village in the parish. It lies on the upper reaches of the River Medway and on the edge of Ashdown Forest. A Roman road from London to Lewes runs across the parish, to the west of the village. According to Domesday Book, Hardfield, in the 'Rape' of Pevensey, had 6 manor houses and a water mill. From the 13th Century up until the time of Queen Elizabeth I, much of the land was in the ownership of the Dukes of Dorset (the Sackville family). The modern village street remains narrow, precluding much parking.
The church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.
There were three public houses: the Anchor Inn, the Gallipot Inn and the Haywagon Inn. The Haywagon Inn (originally known as The Dorset Arms) dates to the 16th Century and was closed in 2015 following a planning application to convert to housing.
Popes Cottage is reputedly the oldest building in the village, originally built as a hall house in 1236.
The elder brother of the writer W. Somerset Maugham, Frederic Maugham, 1st Viscount Maugham PC QC, a lawyer and judge who served as Lord Chancellor from March 1938 until September 1939, and his son, the author Robin Maugham, are buried in the churchyard.
