History, heritage & famous connections
Ringmer grew up as a village on the lower ground north-east of Lewes, on the edge of the Glynde and Laughton levels beneath the South Downs, with its broad green and the church of St Mary the Virgin at its heart. Cricket has been played on the green for generations, and the village retains one of the largest greens in the area. Ringmer has long-standing links to families who sailed to settle in America, a thread of history the village remembers, and it appears in the annals of natural history through Gilbert White: his celebrated tortoise, Timothy, lived at Ringmer with White’s aunt, Mrs Snooke, and is recorded in his famous letters in The Natural History of Selborne.
In the later twentieth century Ringmer grew considerably, with substantial estate housing added to the older core, turning it into a large, family-oriented commuter village while keeping its green, its church and its community life. Today it is a sought-after village within easy reach of Lewes, Brighton and the coast, close to Glyndebourne opera and the South Downs National Park, and popular with families and commuters alike.
