21 2 INTRODUCTION TO NEWICK

Newick is a medium sized village situated in the Low of East Sussex. Once a rural agricultural village its name derived from the Saxon "wic" - dairy farm and the Norman "niwe" - new. It stands on the A272 almost exactly half way between Canterbury and Winchester, hence giving credence in the eyes of some people to the village fable that it lies on the ancient pilgrims’ way. This suggested route would have been an impossible trek many hundreds of years ago, mainly due to the Wealden clay. The main pilgrims’ route was further inland on the high ground on the south side of the North Downs. is 7 miles to the west and is 5 miles to the east. Newick is situated within the area served by Lewes District Council and is 9 miles from Lewes, the county town of East Sussex.

The ancient town of Lewes, dominated by its Norman castle, is the site of the battle of Lewes in which King Henry III was defeated by Simon de Montfort’s army in 1264. Simon’s army passed through Newick going to and from the battle having camped in Fletching on the night before the battle. Newick predates the Doomsday Book although it is not recorded in it, possibly because the village was, in those days, buried in the dense Ashdown th Newick Parish Council would like to thank those local businesses forest. Certainly there was a church here in the 11 Century. who made donations towards the cost of printing and distributing this Directory Copies of local history books “A Pictorial History of Newick” and “Newick Retold” are on sale at the Post Office or can be obtained through the Parish Council.

The Parish Church of St. Mary is in the south east of the village. It is believed that there has been a church on this site since the 11th Century.

There are three public houses, all historic buildings in their own ways. The Bull Inn, once the Bull and Butcher, then the King of Prussia’s Head, and also named the Crown, stands on the Village Green. The Royal Oak is reputed to have been a manor house in the 16th Century. The Crown is an old coaching inn surviving from the days when the King’s Highway was in what is now Blind Lane.

The commercial centre of the village is the Village Green with its pump built to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Surrounding it are houses & shops in a variety of styles and ages.
