About

Framfield & Cross-in-Hand ward encompasses a largely rural part of eastern Wealden, characterised by farmland, woodland, and scattered settlements. The area includes the village of Framfield, with its historic church and village green, and the larger settlement of Cross-in-Hand, which functions as a local service hub along the A267. The landscape is defined by the rolling fields and hedgerows of the High Weald, with pockets of ancient woodland.

The ward's economy has traditional agricultural roots, though it now includes light industry and commuting links to larger towns. A notable local feature is the presence of the Bluebell Railway, a preserved heritage steam line whose northern extension passes near the area, connecting it to this ongoing historical project. The overall environment is one of working countryside, with residential development largely contained within the established villages.
