Rotherfield Greys take it name from the De Grey Family and ´rother´ meaning ´cattle´. Its several interesting buildings include Greys Court, the church and the old rectory.
The church was largely rebuilt in 1865 but in the nave aisle is a superb brass of 1387 to Sir Robert de Grey.
Greys Court is a Jacobean house built within the remains of a fortified manor house of the 14th century. It contains fine plasterwork and furniture and in its grounds is an Elizabethan Well House once worked by a donkey treading a large wheel. It is a National Trust property, open to the public from April to September.
