On the northern edge of Ashdown Forest, Hartfield derives its name from the deer (hart) that roamed the area when it was a Royal hunting park. The village grew from agricultural roots until it became a centre for iron and timber. Its increased wealth resulted in the construction of the church and many impressive local houses. Hartfield is famous for being the home of A.A. Milne, author of the Winnie the Pooh books, and the location for the Poohsticks Bridge, which lies to the south of the village.
