A short history of Henfield
By the time of Domesday in 1086 Henfield was a sizeable village of 52 households. In January 1660/61 King Charles II appointed Colonel Henry Bishop, who lived in the village, as Postmaster General. Bishop devised the earliest type of postmark used in England, known to collectors as a Bishop mark and he is buried in the churchyard. The botanist William Borrer, who studied British plants, was born and died in Henfield in the eighteenth century. In 1913 the suffragette Elizabeth Robins used her fifteenth century farmhouse at Backsettown as a place of recovery for suffragettes after hunger strikes. She shared the house with Octavia Wilberforce and became the first president of the Henfield Women's Institute, founded in 1917. A local stamp club marked Bishop's invention in 1963 with a special date stamp. There are 67 listed buildings within half a mile of the centre, including four graded II*: Wantley Manor, Potwell, Rus House and The Parish Church Of St Peter.
