==History== thumb|left|Isfield motte and bailey The village of Isfield originally grew adjacent to the ford where the London to Lewes Way Roman road crossed the river River Ouse. The village had an active history through the Saxon, Norman eras, when a Norman castle motte was built on the river bank near the church to guard the crossing. Local legend, as recalled by William Wratten (born 1888), had it that King Harold spent the night before the Battle of Hastings in the village, at his demesne located where Isfield Place now stands.
