Little Horsted (also known as ''Horsted Parva'') is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. It is located two miles (3.2 km) south of Uckfield, on the A26 road. The village is recorded in the Domesday Book. The church is dedicated to St Michael and All Angels. Horsted Place, now a country hotel is located in the village, together with two golf courses, including the East Sussex National. ==History== Among the prime movers of the early Wealden iron industry were the Levett family. The family's iron interests were begun by John Levett of Little Horsted. On Levett's early death,〔(Will of John Levett, Little Horsted, Gent., East Sussex Record Office, The National Archives, nationalarchives.gov.uk )〕 his share of the family's interests in the emerging iron industry of the Weald went to his brother, an Oxford-trained rector in Buxted. William Levett took to his unlikely role and became the leading armaments supplier to the King. In his will of 1533, John Levett left his iron mills and furnaces to his brother, with the provision that his children be cared for with the proceeds. Levett's widow Eve Adam remarried Laurence Ashburnham,〔(Marriage of Eve (Adam) Levett to Laurence Ashburnham, The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 5, Edward Hasted, 1798, Institute of Historical Research, British History Online, british-history.ac.uk ) 〕 ancestor of the Ashburnham baronets of Broomham, Sussex.〔(Will of John Levett, LIttle Horsted, Gent., East Sussex Record Office, Lewes, nationalarchives.gov.uk )〕
