From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadlow Down is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. It is located on the A272 road 3 miles (4.8km) north east of Heathfield. It came to prominence with the Wealden iron industry in the 17th an 18th centuries.

The parish church was built in 1836, is dedicated to St Mark, and was rebuilt just before World War I. Edmond William Costello (1873-1949), holder of the Victoria Cross is buried in the churchyard; and Diana Rowden (1915-1944) SOE agent, lived at Hadlow Down before WWII.
