Discover Smallfield

When looking for a hotel in Smallfield for a trip, you can first consider whether local history, community meeting places or outdoor activities should shape your stay. Local topics range from a family estate and a church to a community garden, club activities and outdoor facilities. This makes it easy to explore Smallfield according to the interests that matter for your stay. The distinction between historical accounts and present-day community offerings is useful for finding your way around: you can separate an interest in local history from a search for activities in the village.

Village History and Historic Places

There was no village in Smallfield until the Victorian era. Smallfield Place had been the seat of the De Burstow family since the late 12th century; Smallfield Green covered eight acres. These details offer two distinct historical perspectives: the history of the family estate goes back considerably further than the emergence of the village. The Green adds a connection to the history of the landscape.

Smallfield Evangelical Church on Redhall Road was built in 1890 as a mission hall in memory of Mrs Jane Ann Tustin of Burstow Hall. At the start of the Second World War, a hospital was built beside Broadbridge Lane for the Canadian Army to treat war casualties. The contrast highlights the shift in purpose: the mission hall was associated with a memorial, while the hospital was associated with caring for war casualties.

Community and Club Life

The Smallfield Community Garden opened in May 2017 and serves as a meeting place for people of all generations. The Practice Health Champions lead a walking group on the first Tuesday of every month. The garden is a meeting place for all generations; the walking group adds a regular event to community life. If this event is important to your plans, check the details in advance.

For over 60 years, Smallfield Sports Club has offered the local community football, cricket and social activities; darts are also available. The club has two cricket teams known as Smallfield Manor CC. This identifies the name with the cricket teams, while the club’s offerings also include football, darts and social activities.

Outdoor Facilities

The grounds of Centenary Hall have an outdoor table tennis table and a fitness station available for use. The grounds also include a community art garden where you can walk or sit. There is a car park beside the hall; it can be very busy at certain times of day, so a parking space is not guaranteed.

There is a children’s playground on Plough Road, next to the football and cricket pitches. The locations are useful for finding your way to the facilities: the garden, table tennis table and fitness station are on the grounds of Centenary Hall; the playground is next to the football and cricket pitches on Plough Road.
