History of Ansty

St John's,was opened in 1883 and rebuilt and dedicated in 1909 by the Bishop of Lewes as a memorial to T W Best, father of Miss Louisa Best, who had it erected at her expense.

It was ministered by the clergy of Holy Trinity Church (Cuckfield), until its closure on 25th December 2000.

Popular concerts regularly took place in the Mission Rooms, with people walking from Cuckfield to enjoy them. On the 15th January 2001 the Bell Ringers at Holy Trinity, Cuckfield rang a Quarter Peel to commemorate the closure of St John's Church.
