Ditchling is a village and civil parish in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is known for its association with the artist Eric Gill. He with others founded an artistic community there, during World War I. The small and picturesque village of Ditchling lies at the foot of the Downs in East Sussex, but very close to the border with West Sussex. The settlement stands around a crossroads with Brighton to the South, Haywards Heath to the North, Keymer and Hassocks to the West and Lewes to the East and is built on a slight spur of land between the Downs to the South and Lodge Hill to the north. Though it probably goes back farther, the history of Ditchling starts properly in Saxon times when the people of Dicul settled here and King Alfred held lands as a Royal Manor, but is most remembered today as an artistic commune where several famous artists lived and worked. Though its history and importance can be traced far back in time, the village it still quite small and unspoilt, pertly due to the holding of much of the land by the Manor, partly due to being missed by the railway but mostly due to the actions of its residents.
