Hellingly (pronounced 'Helling-lye') is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. The village is located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Hailsham.

History

The village, like many others on the Weald, was involved in the Wealden iron industry. The watermill connected with the industry is no longer in operation. Horselunges Manor is a moated Tudor manor house, restored by Walter Godfrey in the 1930s.

There are 14 parish councillors on Hellingly Parish Council. [ [http://www.hellingly-pc.org.uk/councillors.htm Parish councillors] ]

Geography

Hellingly is situated at the confluence of the River Cuckmere and one of its tributaries, on the lower southern slopes of the Weald.

Religion

The 14th century parish church is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. [ [http://www.achurchnearyou.com/venue.php?V=4968 St Peter and St Paul church] ] The chancel dates from about 1200, and the shafts with annulets round the windows and the band of palmettes under them are substantially original. There is stained glass in the east lancet windows by William Morris & Co.

Transport

The village used to have a railway station on the erstwhile Polegate to Eridge line, closed in 1968. The village is now served by buses run by Eastbourne Buses. [ [http://www.carlberry.co.uk/rfnlistr.asp?L1=EAS067&L2=HEL009&OP=B Bus services] ]

Notable people

Peter Grant (1935–1995), actor and music executive, is buried here.
