Ifold is a hamlet in West Sussex. It is the largest of the four Plaistow, West Sussex parish settlements. Ifold as it is today, began in the same way as Durfold Wood where plots of land were sold originally to people who used them as holiday or weekend homes.
Ifold is home to Kelsey Hall, the current building built in 1978 and extended in the 1990s with the help of a lottery grant. The Hall hosts a number of weekly activity groups and the Little Acorns nursery, as well as an annual Arts and crafts fair. In the past few years, the Hall has also begun hosting film nights with CineMobile touring cinema. (see the CineMobile website at[1]). There is also a Scout hut that serves the hamlet and surrounding villages.
