THREE CHURCHES
The Parish of Buxted and Hadlow Down in East Sussex is a single parish with three parish churches:
-
St Margaret the Queen, in Buxted Park
-
St Mary the Virgin, in Buxted
-
St Mark the Evangelist, in Hadlow Down.
The parish is in the Uckfield Deanery, the Hastings Archdeaconry and the Chichester Diocese. The Parish was created by a pastoral scheme and came into operation on 1 January 2008.
It is administered by a single PCC.
ONE PARISH
The villages of Buxted and Hadlow Down make up the ecclesiastical parish, which also includes part of Five Ash Down within its boundary. It is a rural community, but is growing as a result of planned housing development.
There are two Church of England Primary schools in the parish:
-
Buxted C.E. Primary School (church-controlled)
​
-
St Mark’s C.E. School Hadlow Down (church-aided)
The parish maintains close links with both schools, details of which can be found on the pages for St. Margaret’s and St. Mark’s.
The parish is a registered charity (Charity Reg. No. 1130925).
