Stone Cross in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England sits on the low-lying land between Hailsham and Polegate, a short drive from the coast at Eastbourne and the rolling chalk of the South Downs. It is a semi-rural settlement of ribbon development, smallholdings and residential streets close to main roads, which makes it a convenient commuter spot while still feeling distinctly village-like.
Historically the name reflects a stone wayside cross that once marked local routes across the Weald; the built environment mixes older cottages with post-war housing. Local life tends to revolve around the pub, village hall, churches and community groups, and the economy is largely residential with nearby agriculture and small businesses. For many it offers a quieter base with easy access to coastal amenities and countryside walks.
