"Wadhurst is a place of character, a bright and sparkling place. Shops in pleasant variety line the long high street, and all sorts of architectural styles greet you, red tile, white weatherboards, grey stone and mellow sandstone, wavy roofs and straight roofs. Though it stands in a green and quiet recess, the church is nevertheless the most prominent building. A slender shingled spire rests on a Norman tower and rises 128 feet from the ground. The rest of the building grew from the thirteenth century to the sixteenth, replacing original twelfth-century work. The evening sun plays upon the spire when twilight has claimed the rest of the church and most of the town, and it gleams like illuminated silver."

Our Parish Council now has Quality Council status and has its own website where you can find details of our local councillors, agendas and minutes for Council and committee meetings. There is a calendar of meetings and all planning applications for the parish are listed on site as soon as they come in. A comprehensive archive of meeting minutes goes back to 2003 - and there is a Walk through the High Street to show you what a splendid place Wadhurst is.
