Bonnington
Bonnington is mentioned in
the Domesday Book and was owned by the Knights Templar in the 14th
century. Sailing barges from Rye used to come up the River Rother
and the Royal Military Canal as far as Bonnington Bridge and the
field near the bridge is still called the Coal Wharf. On the
village green is an old tree called the Law-Day Oak, under which
the Leet Court sat to hear local pleas. The parish church of St.
Rumwold has some unusual early Norman windows in the chancel.
