The village grew as a market town; and an important coaching stop between London and Brighton, since it lay on the turnpike. In 1820 fifty coaches a day were passing through; but when the railway to Brighton was to be constructed in the 1840s, local landowners objected to its projected route: it was therefore built through neighbouring Haywards Heath instead. The village lost its importance as a result. Today the A272 road also bypasses the village centre. It is however home to Warden Park Specialist School one of the main secondary schools serving the Haywards Heath area. The market town is a medieval phenomenon. ...
