Tarring Neville
(The Chest from the Spanish Armarda)

Origin of Village Name

This village derivation is still being researched

General Details

Tarring Neville lies on the main A26 Newhaven and Seaford to Lewes road, and consists only of a church, 2 farms and a few of cottages.

The area was settled in the Iron Age with tumuli and settlements behind the village on top of the South Downs at Itford Hill.

The village must have been somewhat larger in the past, as the Domesday Book records its value as £8.00 which is more than most villages in the area. Its main business was shipbuilding together with fishing and salt production.

It is generally believed that the village was decimated by the Black Death, and that it never recovered.

The church which was mainly constructed in the 1100 - 1200's contains an iron chest brought ashore from one of the vessels in the Spanish Armada .

Services

Tarring Neville has no local services, but is well served by nearby Newhaven about 1 mile south west and the county town of Lewes about 5 miles north.

The nearest trains run from Lewes, and busses can be caught on the A26.

Views

Tarring Neville has some nice views across the Ouse valley towards Piddinghoe .

Behind the village lies the magnificent South Downs with their flint built buildings and beautiful views.
