History
The name Rushlake Green is probably derived from the Norman rische lac meaning a lake or stream surrounded by rushes, in which there is a lake just to the west of the village.
Wealden iron was mined here and at nearby Warbleton in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Earliest records of the village date back to the 16th century although the Horse and Groom pub and other cottages were built in the 17th century
