The historic and ancient Village of Frant has existed since before the Norman Conquest and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. When the Wealden Iron industry was at its height, much of the Village was owned by Ironmasters and became the haunt of smugglers during the 17^th and 18^th Centuries. The Village enjoys a fine Church and a General Grocery Store with a Post Office which caters for most day-to-day needs. There is also a Hair Salon, Interior Design Shop and an award winning Estate Agency. In addition, the Village has two fine Country Inns that welcome customers with warming log fires during the winter months and offer much-praised Restaurant and Bar Foods. There is also a Mainline Station located between Frant and the Hamlet of Bells Yew Green.
