Trotton
The village of Trotton is an Anglican parish on the A272, which passes over the River Rother near the church. Traffic over the sandstone bridge, which is Grade I listed and dates to about 1600,[4] is controlled by traffic lights because it is too narrow for two vehicles to pass.

History
Trotton (Traitone or Trattone) was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) in the ancient hundred of Dumpford as having 14 households comprising four villagers and ten smallholders; with ploughing land, woodland, meadows, a mill and a church, it had a value to the lord of the manor of £5.[7]
In 1861, the population of the Anglican parish was 452, and its area was 3,877 acres (1,569 ha).[6]
Notable people
According to Samuel Johnson, the author Thomas Otway was born in Trotton (Johnson calls it "Trottin") in 1652.[8] Otway's father, Humphrey, was curate of the parish.[6]
Chithurst
The village of Chithurst contains St Mary's Church and Cittaviveka, the Chithurst Buddhist Monastery.
The church dates to the 11th century.[9] It is one of the smallest recorded in Taylor & Taylor’s Anglo-Saxon Architecture, and exhibits Saxon features in the proportions, the thinness of the walls, a splayed window in the south chancel wall, long-and-short work quoins with large shaped stones, and some herringbone work in the stone rubble masonry of the walls. It consists of a nave and chancel which show these signs of construction in the Anglo-Saxon era, with a later west porch and bell turret.
Chithurst (Titcherste) was listed in the Domesday Book (1086) in the ancient hundred of Dumpford as having 14 households comprising six villagers, five smallholders and three slaves; with ploughing land, woodland, meadows, a mill and a church, it had a value to the lord of the manor of £3.[10]
In 1861, Chithurst had a population of 213 and an area of 1,047 acres (424 ha) of which, according to Kelly's 1867 Directory "about 360 are waste and wood land".[11]
