Earlye Oast House

This peculiarly shaped structure is an Oast House, used for drying fresh hops before sending them to brewers. The roof's distinctive shape serves to channel hot air up through the hops, aiding in the drying process.

Furnace Wood

The name of this wood is derived from the tithe map of Wadhurst from 1840, as it was the hammer pond for Riverhall Furnace, which operated for nearly 100 years from the mid-16th century.
