Newick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Newick is a village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located on the A272 road six miles (9.6km) east of Haywards Heath,
The parish church, St. Mary's, dates mainly from the Victorian era, but still has a Norman window.
The village is home to three pubs (The Bull Inn, The Royal Oak, and The Crown), two restaurants, a butcher, a baker, as well as a number of other businesses. There is also a primary school, a health centre, a village hall, and it still has a Post Office.
Until 17 March 1958, the village was served by Newick and Chailey railway station on the East Grinstead to Lewes line, part of which remains as the Bluebell Railway. Chailey village is south-west of Newick.
Like many other places in Sussex, Newick holds an annual Bonfire Night celebration on the Saturday before Lewes Bonfire Night. Many of the local bonfire societies join the procession.
[edit] Sports and recreation
Newick has a King George's Field in memorial to King George V. In 1934 Dirk Bogarde (Derek Bogaerde as he then was) was appearing in amateur dramatic productions in the village with Newick Amateur Dramatics Society (NADS), which still exists today with a youth sub-society: The NADYS.
