Ditchling has remained unspoilt over the centuries and has many examples of period Tudor buildings. Wings Place is a fine Tudor building across the road from St Margaret’s church once known as Anne of Cleves House, the house looks particularly imposing when viewed from the church with the backdrop of the Downs immediately behind. The village has kept the period tradition and tea rooms and the village deli fit perfectly into these traditional village surroundings.
