Jarvis Brook

Jarvis Brook is a village in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. It lies in the south-east of the Crowborough civil parish, about from Crowborough town centre.
In the 2021 Census, the electoral ward of the same name had a population of 4,305.
Around the centre of the village are numerous individual businesses along Crowborough Hill, that acts as a high street and ends at Farningham Road. Crowborough railway station, on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted line, was historically known as Crowborough and Jarvis Brook and serves the village.
To the south, Jarvis Brook has a church that opened in 1876 called the Rethoboth Chapel.

History

The earliest existing record of the village is the 1795 map by William Gardner, with very few important occurances happening between then and 1868, when the railway opened.
The village grew when the station opened, with factories and houses being built around the area. The Crowborough Country Park was a clay quarry that supplied the Crowborough brickworks until it closed in 1980. In 2009, it was turned into a local nature reserve.
