Historical Geography information for Lindfield, Sussex, England
| Place Name | Lindfield |
| Description | Lindfield is a village and civil parish in the Mid Sussex District of West Sussex, England. It stands on the upper reaches of the River Ouse. The High Street follows an ancient north-south track that has existed for thousands of years, long before the Romans built a major road a mile to the west of the village. Lindfield first appeared as Lindefeldia, ‘open land with lime trees’, in a Saxon charter of 765 AD, in which King Ealdwulf granted lands for the building of a Minster church. By Domesday the lands were held by the Archbishop of Canterbury. King Edward III recognised the importance of medieval Lindfield and in 1343 granted the town a royal charter to hold a market. |
