Ifield Parish Map
The Old Martyrs

In the north of the parish is The Old Martyrs, a farmhouse from the early 1500s named in tribute to Thomas Dungate, one of three Sussex Martyrs burnt at the stake in East Grinstead High Street on 18 July 1556. Dungate, who during the reign of Queen 'Bloody' Mary was judged to be guilty of heresy against Catholicism, had been discovered hiding at the farm.
