Welcome to Ashburnham
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Ashburnham is a civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex, England, situated to the west of Battle. It includes the settlements of Brownbread Street and Ponts Green; Ashburnham Forge is also within the parish. Ashburnham shares a parish council with the neighbouring small parish of Penhurst. Ashburnham takes its name from Ashburnham Place, now a Christian conference and prayer centre, which in turn comes from the fact that the local stream is the Ashbourne. The 14th century parish church, dedicated to St Peter, was rebuilt in 1665. The village was in the iron making district of the Weald, and its blast furnace was the last in Sussex to be closed in 1813. Ashburnham and neighbouring Penhurst, neither of which have many dwellings, were united in 1810. The parish has a population of 303 (2001 census).
