The historical buildings and curiosities of West Hoathly

 

By Ian Mulcahy

West Hoathly is a village and civil parish in West Sussex located around three and a half miles south west of East Grinstead and a similar distance south east of the outskirts of Crawley. The village stands on a high sandstone ridge approximately 175 metres above sea level and was inhabited by the 11th Century.

This page is an index of the historical buildings and curiosities that I have photographed and investigated within the parish boundaries.
