Iron was made in the Weald from pre-Roman times until the beginning of the 19th century.
Its legacy is recalled by a host of place names, such as Minepit Wood and Forge Lane, by the hammer and furnace ponds which survive in the landscape, and by the cast-iron graveslabs and firebacks that can be seen, respectively, in Wealden churches and farmhouses.
Since 1968 when it was established, much of this work has been carried out by the Wealden Iron Research Group (WIRG).
