Newick is a village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located on the A272 road six miles (9.6 km) east of Haywards Heath.

The parish church, St. Mary's, dates mainly from the Victorian era, but still has a Norman window. Zion Chapel, a Strict Baptist chapel, was built in 1834 and converted to flats in 2001. Newick Evangelical Free Church, originally a mission hall, opened in 1892.[2]

The village is home to three pubs (The Crown Inn, The Royal Oak, and The Bull Inn), two restaurants (Newick Tandoori, and Dino's), a butcher, a baker, as well as a number of other businesses. There is also a primary school, a health centre, a village hall known originally as the 'Derek Hall', and a post office.

Like many other places in Sussex, Newick holds an annual Bonfire Night celebration on the Saturday before Lewes Bonfire Night. Many of the local bonfire societies join the procession.

Farm land between Newick and Piltdown forms one of the five land raise waste sites proposed by East Sussex County Council as part of their future plans for waste disposal. This waste site would be located adjacent to the River Ouse and be approximately 1.1 square km (110 hectares, 270 acres).[3]

In the south of the parish is the manor of Newick Park, once the home of William Joynson-Hicks, 1st Viscount Brentford.[4] The Grade II* listed building is now a country hotel.[5]

The area in the south of the parish has several chalybeate springs.

Sports and recreation

Newick has a King George's Field in memorial to King George V. In 1934 Dirk Bogarde (Derek Bogaerde as he then was) appeared in amateur dramatic productions in the village with Newick Amateur Dramatic Society (NADS), which still exists today with a youth sub-society: Newick Youth Theatre (Formerly known as the NADYS)

Rail transport

Until 17 March 1958, the village was served by Newick and Chailey railway station on the East Grinstead to Lewes line, part of which remains as the Bluebell Railway. The line was closed by the Branch Line Committee long before British Rail's Beeching Report. The next station north was Sheffield Park and the next station south was Barcombe. Sheffield Park is still used by the Bluebell Railway.
