Welcome to Uckfield & District Preservation Society - we run both Bridge Cottage Heritage Centre and Nutley Windmill
Welcome
Uckfield & District Preservation Society look after Bridge Cottage in Uckfield High Street and Nutley Windmill, Crowborough Road, Nutley, East Sussex.
Bridge Cottage Heritage Centre is a medieval Wealden Hall House built in 1436. Today the building plays host to a variety of local history and community events, and is also available for private hire. Explore the website to find out more about both our sites!

Visit our sister site Nutley Windmill and see the oldest, only working open-trestle post mill in the country. Set in the beautiful landscape of Ashdown Forest, East Sussex.
Nutley Windmill
Bridge Cottage Heritage Centre hosts various exhibitions here throughout the year. Our last exhibition 'Women of Wealden Suffrage' explored and celebrated inspiring women over the last 100 years since gaining the right to vote.
