Warbleton is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England.[3] Within its bounds are three other settlements. It is located south-east of Heathfield on the slopes of the Weald.

History

The manor of Warbleton was held by the Levett family of Sussex for several centuries. The same family held Salehurst, and had earlier held Firle, Catsfield, Hollington and other manors across Sussex.[4] The family is of Anglo-Norman descent, and members of the family were vicars, ironmasters, and landowners. The Levetts of Salehurst, Warbleton and Fittleworth owned Bodiam Castle and sold it to Nicholas Tufton, 1st Earl of Thanet.[5] Some of the Levett family's lands were forfeited due to the bankruptcy of an early heir. Other family lands were carried by marriage into the families of Eversfield, Gildredge, Chaloner, Ashburnham, Pope and other prominent Sussex and Kent families.

Governance

The parish council consists of eleven members.[6]

Geography

The parish consists of two villages, Rushlake Green and Bodle Street Green; and two hamlets, Warbleton and Three Cups. They lie in an area of the Weald between the A267 road between Hailsham and Heathfield to the west and the B2096 Hailsham to Battle road to the north.

Principal buildings

There are two churches in the civil parish, St Mary the Virgin at Warbleton; and St John the Evangelist at Bodle Street Green. The two form a united benefice under one vicar. Chapel services are held at Three Cups.[7] Warbleton has a village hall; and a second, Dunn Village Hall, is at Rushlake Green.
