RINGMER, a parish in the hundred of RINGMER, rape of PEVENSEY, county of SUSSEX, 2 miles (N. E. by E.) from Lewes, containing 1271 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage, in the peculiar jurisdiction and patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury, rated in the king's books at £13. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is in the later style of English architecture. The river Ouse separates this parish from that of Barcombe. On the Broyle road, about three quarters of a mile from Ringmer, are commodious barracks for a detachment of the royal artillery usually stationed there. Lady Barbara, Thomas, and Sybilla Stapley, in 1699, gave each £100, for teaching sixteen poor children; the annual income, amounting to £ 10, is applied in support of a National school, and upwards of one hundred children are instructed in a school-house, which has been lately enlarged by subscription.
