Ditchling history
The place has been inhabited in some way or other for thousands of years. Above the village to the west is Lodge Hill (TQ 324 155) there is evidence of Mesolithic people in the form of their flint tools.
Anglo-Saxon Ditchling
The name Ditchling is first recorded in 765 as Dicelinga in a grant by King Alduuf of land bordering that of Ditchling. It embraced both Clayton, Keymer and Wivelsfield. In the starting centuries of the Saxon settlement it was probably the capital of several Sussex microkingdoms.
Medieval Ditchling
The Domesday book mentions a church and a mill in Ditchling and the population was approx 150 households. In 1095 there is mention of a manor house, what is now Wings Place. After the Norman conquest, the land was held by William de Warenne.
Modern Ditchling
In the 18th and 19th centuries the Old Meeting House in Ditchling was an important centre for Baptists from the wider area. In 1921 they founded the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, a Roman Catholic community of artists and craftsmen. The community had its own workshops and chapel, and thrived for many years. Its affairs were finally wound up in 1989, and the workshops were demolished.
