Playden is a village and civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex , England. The village is located one mile (1.6 km ) north-west of Rye .
History [ edit ]
Playden is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Pleidena; it is a largely rural parish, having no village centre, and the hamlet of Houghton Green is included in the parish. Playden's main occupation was fishing: the fish were salted in a one-time settlement known as Saltcote , after the fact that it had a fish salting industry based there. Saltcote Street is now all that remains of that industry.[3]
Governance [ edit ]
Playden Parish Council has four councillors,[4] [5]
The parish is within the Rother District of East Sussex . In the United Kingdom Parliament , it is part of the Hastings & Rye constituency , represented since the 2019 UK general election by Sally-Ann Hart , of the Conservative party .
Landmarks [ edit ]
The Norman church is dedicated to St Michael.[6] [7]
The parish church, as depicted in a postcard, circa 1905
The field in front of the Church formerly known as Beacon Oak Field was the site of a 15th century beacon at Sawcut (sic), sighting from Tenterden and Alomsbridge (about Newington Bridge, Kent, name has disappeared). The beacon was in the form of a tar filled barrel in an oak tree that was burnt down around 1930 but the stump remains.
The parish includes a two-acre field known as The Butt Field, which since 1703 has been available to the people of the village for "archery practice, recreation and sport".[8]
Within the parish there is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Houghton Green Cliff . This is an exposed cliff face displaying sandstones of geological interest.[9]
In addition, part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh & Rye SSSI lies within Playden parish.
The artist and scientific illustrator Brian Hargreaves (1935-2011) lived in Playden up until the time of his death.[10]
