Telscombe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telscombe is a town in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. The village on the South Downs is located six miles (10km) south of Lewes; the ancient ecclesiastical parish had a coastal frontage between those of Rottingdean and Piddinghoe, now much taken up by modern housing development, particularly Saltdean, and Peacehaven, including Telscombe Cliffs, within the civil parish.
In 1929 Tescombe became a civil parish: in 1974 it became a town, with a mayor. The new Civic Centre came into use in Telscombe Cliffs in 2000.
The village of Telscombe, on a winding road ending in a dead end, is a small cluster of buildings around the church, dedicated to St Laurence. It is a 10th century foundation, with a 13th century.
It also has a school, Telscombe Cliffs Primary.
