Cross in Hand is a small village in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, England, set on the High Weald near the ancient woodlands of Ashdown Forest and close to the market town of Heathfield. It occupies gently undulating farmland, giving it a distinctly rural character and pleasant views across the surrounding countryside.
The village name is thought to stem from an old wayside cross and it historically developed as a stopping point on rural routes. Today Cross in Hand retains characterful cottages and local services such as a pub and village hall; the local economy still has agricultural roots while many residents commute to nearby towns, and a steady programme of community clubs and events keeps village life active.
