Alfriston, Sussex. An ancient town which has among its treasures the first building to be acquired by the National Trust: the 14^th-century Priests', or Clergy, House, an example of a pre-Reformation vicarage. It is a half-timbered and wattle-and-daub building which had fallen into decay at the turn of this century, but judicious restoration has left it much as it was originally, including a clay floor and soot-blackened timbers. These are original, although re-roofing was necessary when the house came into the keeping of the National Trust.

The parish church stands on an ancient Anglo-Saxon mound, and is often referred to as the “Cathedral of the Downs”. It dates mostly from the 14^th century and has a central shingle spire in the form of a Greek cross. Internally it is of fine proportions, with lofty 14^th-century arches and piers, triple sedilia, three piscinas and a fine sculptured reredos.

The Star Inn is one of the oldest in England, dating from the 15^th century. An outstanding feature of this hostelry is its magnificently carved woodwork. The village also has the stump of a medieval market cross and a number of picturesque old buildings.

Not far from the village an Anglo-Saxon burial place was discovered during a building operation. More than 100 graves were excavated and skeletons and a variety of objects uncovered: many of these are now to be seen in the Barbican House Museum in Lewes.
