About Selmeston

Selmeston, a quiet hamlet, breathes the soft air of the Weald. It lies 7.5 km west-north-west of Polegate (from Polegate: bearing 288°T, OS grid TQ 509 070), and is situated north-north-east of Alciston village. The land here, a gentle swell of chalk-down country, feels ancient underfoot, its contours shaped by centuries of farming, the chalk dust a faint luminescence in the low afternoon sun. A scattering of cottages, their flint walls catching the light with a muted sparkle, forms the heart of Selmeston, each one a quiet sentinel against the wide, open skies. The parish church, St. Andrew's, stands as a venerable anchor, its Norman arches whispering tales of a time when the rhythm of life was dictated by the seasons and the tolling of bells. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of greens and golds under the vast expanse, offer a sense of enduring peace, a place where the passing of time is felt more than observed.
