There is an Anglo-Saxon manor known as Bivelham which lay between the parishes of Wadhurst and Mayfield. </p><p>Although Wadhurst was almost certainly in existence at the time of the <a href="/wiki/Domesday" class="mw-redirect" title="Domesday">Domesday</a> survey in 1086, it was part of the <a href="/wiki/Archbishop_of_Canterbury" title="Archbishop of Canterbury">Archbishop of Canterbury</a>'s land and was therefore not mentioned. The earliest record relating to the area is a reference in the Cartulary of Battle Abbey to "Snape in the parish of Wadhurst". </p><p><a href="/wiki/Henry_III_of_England" title="Henry III of England">Henry III</a> granted Wadhurst its charter in 1253, allowing Wadhurst to hold a market every Saturday<sup id="cite_ref-Bocking_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bocking-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and a fair on 29 June, the feast of St Peter and St Paul. </p><p>In the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries Wadhurst, as did many towns and villages in the Weald, had a thriving iron industry. Two of the large Georgian buildings on the High Street, Hill House and The Old Vicarage, were both ironmasters' houses, along with a number of other large houses on the outskirts of Wadhurst. In the church of St Peter and St. Paul there are several iron ledger-stone memorials of ironmasters, which are unique to this area. </p><p>During the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>, Wadhurst lost 149 men, out of a total village population of 3,500.
