Village in East Sussex, England

Newick is a village, civil parish and electoral ward in the Lewes District of East Sussex, England. It is located on the A272 road 6 mile (10 km) east of Haywards Heath. The parish church, St. Mary's, dates mainly from the Victorian era, but still has a Norman window. Zion Chapel, a Strict Baptist chapel, was built in 1834 and converted to flats in 2001. Newick Evangelical Free Church, originally a mission hall, opened in 1892. The village is home to three pubs (The Crown Inn, The Royal Oak, and The Bull Inn), one restaurant (Newick Tandoori), a butcher, a baker, a pharmacy, as well as a number of other businesses. There is also a primary school, a health centre, a village hall known originally as the 'Derek Hall', and a post office. Like many other places in Sussex, Newick holds an annual Bonfire Night celebration on the Saturday before Lewes Bonfire Night. Many of the local bonfire societies join the procession.

The Newick parish sits to the east of the River Ouse. To the north and east is Fletching, to the south is Barcombe and to its west is Chailey. In the 16th century much of Newick was common land and animals were grazed by locals. The commons were part of the giant Chailey Commons complex. Newick retained its western commons until the middle of the 17th century, when Roeheath and Cinder Commons were almost all enclosed, however Little Roeheath (more a green than a common) still survives. The Grade II* listed building was a country hotel, but is now a private house. There are wild daffodils on the grassy slope under the house, several old sweet chestnut trees, including a five span giant and a good many oak by the Drive. The old walled garden has fine rhubarb beds (2014). West of the Park as far as Ridgeland Lane is wet alder carr ( with much golden saxifrage and marsh marigold (kingcups). Ash is abundant in the swamp.
