Falmer, Village in East Sussex, England
Falmer spans across 17 square kilometers between Brighton and Lewes, featuring a central pond and traditional cottages within the South Downs National Park.
The village name, recorded as Falemere in the Domesday Book, derives from Saxon words meaning dark pool, referencing the central village pond.
The Grade I listed St. Laurence Church from 1649 displays architectural elements including a west tower, nave, chancel, and north vestry.
The village connects to Brighton and Lewes through regular train services at Falmer Station on the East Coastway line and the A27 road.
A 13th-century thatched barn behind the church, among the largest medieval structures in Sussex, stored corn for Lewes Priory monks.
