Warninglid

WARNINGLID or Warninglyth, as it was known in the 1300s, has Saxon origins with medieval iron-industry connections. In the last 25 years it has won the Best Kept Village competition three times and been runner-up on six other occasions. Its centre was the first of six Conservation Areas that were established in Sussex.

The Church of St Andrew was built in 1932 and has some of the finest examples of modern stained glass in the south of England. On the outskirts, a number of old buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries have developed into charming houses.
