Bodle Street Green, Sussex

The parish of Bodle Street Green was formed in the mid-19th century and was an amalgamation of lands taken mainly from Warbleton and Herstmonceux, but also including detatched parts of Wartling and Dallington. The parish church lies to the South of the village and there is a Baptist Chapel to the North, both containing 'Hunnisett' burials.

Some 'Hunnisett' MIs found at the parish church
