Glynde

Glynde is a village and civil parish in East Sussex, England, within the Lewes District. It lies about two miles northeast of Lewes, near the A27 road and the village of Beddingham. The parish of Glynde and Beddingham encompasses the village and surrounding countryside.

Glynde Place, a historic country house on the edge of the village, has been the seat of the Gage family since the 16th century and is a notable example of Elizabethan architecture, with later alterations. The estate includes formal gardens and parkland and has historically played a role in local agriculture and landscape.

Glynde has a railway station on the East Coastway Line, providing regular services between Brighton and Eastbourne, with stops at Lewes and other coastal towns. The station is a reminder of Glynde’s historic links to rail transport, dating from the 19th century.

The village is predominantly rural, with farming and local services supporting the surrounding countryside. It has a small parish church and a few local amenities serving residents and visitors to Glynde Place and nearby countryside walks.
