I have a special affinity with Lingfield. My grandmother used to live there and some of my earliest memories are lodged in hat settlement. Thanks, Marq, for bringing it all back to me I only wish I could have joined you for that fabulous pub lunch!
What a lovely place! The Cobhams are still going- I remember my sister had to do some work for them yonks ago! And I remember them owning property in Kent/ Surrey - so vague! It’s not long till your holiday in Florida- hope you have a lovely break!
Lingfield is a place I know a little. My grandmother was born there and spent the first part of her life there before she met Grandad and moved to East Sussex. My great grandfather was Postmaster for many years. The first Tudor brick building on the way up to the church was at one time Faulkners Butchers. The Faulkners were ancestors of mine as were the Paynes and Terrys. There are a lot of them in that second graveyard. It’s a while since I’ve been to visit them. I remember as a child visiting my granny’s brother who lived in a cottage in The Twitten which led to the church. I remember I thought it was really cool that you had a view of the church out of the front windows. Thank you Marq that video brings back happy memories.

Thanks Kerry for sharing those lovely memories.
The Grange is the building towards the end of the video.
Huge church and the tombs were impressive! I think Lingfield has a racecourse nearby? Was it a mourning group or a morning group in the church....
Yes Jean, there is a Racecourse nearby and the they were a Morning Group.
