Overview

History & significance

Panningridge iron furnace site is a scheduled ancient monument located in the Weald of Sussex, dating to the medieval and early modern iron-working period. The site represents one of the significant iron-production centres that developed in the Sussex Weald during the 16th century, when the region became a major centre of English iron manufacture. The furnace and associated structures demonstrate the technological and industrial capacity of Tudor-period metalworking, utilising local iron ore and water power from the Wealden streams. The surviving earthworks and archaeological deposits preserve evidence of the furnace itself and the broader industrial landscape that characterised this period of intensive iron production in southern England.
