Barcombe

Barcombe is an East Sussex village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex. The parish has four settlements: old Barcombe (TQ 418 143), the oldest settlement in the parish with the parish church; Barcombe Cross (TQ 420 158), the more populous settlement and main hub with the amenities and services; the hamlet of Spithurst (TQ 426 174) in the northeast and Town Littleworth (TQ 410 180) in the northwest. Barcombe was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Berchamp". The origins of the placename 'Barcombe' may have derived from two sources: the Saxon 'Berecampe', meaning 'barley land' and the Latin loan word 'campus', a field. Barcombe is particularly noted to Sussex residents and tourists for 'Barcombe Mills', a reference to an old water-mill complex on the River Ouse at the base of the hill/plateau on which Barcombe Cross sits. The mills burnt down before the Second World War, but Barcombe Mills is still a popular Sunday outing for townsfolk from Lewes and Brighton.
