The Clock Tower, at it is now known, is a Grade II listed building and continues to serve the villages of Aubourn and Haddington as it is surrounded by the graveyard with the village war memorial, which is still being used. The church was part demolished in the 1970’s and the remaining standing structure was saved from total demolition by the weight of public opinion with local residents raising funds to retain the building within the parish. It is at the heart of the two villages and is widely recognised as a local landmark introducing a welcome verticality into an essentially flat landscape and offers an added local interest in there being a magnificent working clock dedicated to the community.

Aubourn Hall itself is a rare 17th century manor house and something of an ‘architectural riddle’ set in 12 acres of secluded gardens, in the heart of the village of Aubourn. Surrounded by the wider Aubourn Estate which is made up of approximately 2,500 acres of farmland and woodland. The estate had 500 years of continuous ownership by the Nevile family.

The church building of today is what remains of the ancient parish church that was partially demolished in 1862 when a ‘new’ church was built between Aubourn and Haddington. All that survives of the new church is the tower and apse. The ‘new’ church is the village heritage room and is no longer used for worship. The chancel of the old parish church is home to St. Peter’s today. It dates from about 1200AD with a significant rebuild in the 14th century.

Lovely coffee food and atmosphere

lovely short section that feeds into well maintained if bumpy grass track

A timber-framed barn was given to the Quakers in 1701 by Thomas Robinson and almost completely rebuilt in stone to serve as the meeting house. A cottage attached to the south end was later converted to provide a ground floor room with a women's room in a loft above.

The Church of St Nicholas dates back to the 12th century and is Grade I-listed. The church windows have some beautifully ornate stained glass windows from the 1800s. Inside there is a wonderful mixture of monuments and objects from the 17th and 18th centuries.
