The
Six Bells was built in the 1730s on what was once the busy main
track from London to Eastbourne. This well known inn was a
staging post to revive weary stagecoach travelers. Today, this is a quiet and peaceful
backwater and husband and
wife licensees Jacquie and Paul Newman offer their warm and
friendly welcome to all, but mainly to long standing locals and walkers on
the nearby, popular Weald and Vanguard Ways.
The attractive,
old building with its low, tiled roof, chequered brick walls,
white sash windows and low ceilings is almost cottage like
in style and blends in with other property in the
village. During the summer, hanging baskets adorn the
walls and bulging window boxes nestle under every window adding
a dash of colour to the outside of the pub. Click on the picture
below for more on the Six Bells.
