Alfriston is a pretty and picturesque village in Wealden District, East Sussex, which delights visitors. The village has a number of pubs, unusual shops and buildings of interest such as the Clergy House. The South Downs Way crosses the village via the River Cuckmere. Villagers are passionate about protecting the heritage and culture of the village, as epitomised in the annual Alfriston Festival each August. A festive event at Christmas has also proven popular in recent years. Alfriston in former times was the haunt of smugglers, and there are a number of other interesting cultural and historical nuggets about the settlement. The national favourite hymn, ‘Morning Has Broken’ is said to have been penned by Eleanor Farjeon in Alfriston in 1931 after was inspired by her surroundings. Peter Cheyney’s thriller, ‘Uneasy Terms’ (1946) was also set around the village.

Alfriston’s original name is Saxon for ‘Aelfric tun’, which means the ‘farmstead of Alfric’. The Domesday Book notes the settlement as Alvriceston. Evidence suggests that the Alfriston area was also inhabited in earlier times, with remains of prehistoric barrows still in view in the nearby Downland.
