welcome to henfield

Henfield is a large village in West Sussex, almost equidistant between Brighton and Horsham on the A281. These pages contain nearly 1,500 photographs of the village from the Victorian period to the present day - all with accompanying information. The colour photos are the product of my own cameras of varying types and makes - from compact to DSLR - over the years.

The black and white photographs come courtesy of various sources, including my own archive and those of Alan Barwick, both in his role as Curator of the Henfield Museum and as a private individual. I've also included some interesting historical data from Census and Directory documents. There's a hi-res section of watercolours by the children of the Wade family who lived at Croft House around 1900.

The Henfield Festival of Gardens & Arts 2018 takes place in the village on 9th & 10th June - a riot of floral colour, music and art displays. See the Festival website for details:
