Jarvis Brook is a village in Crowborough parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England.[1] It lies in the south-east of the parish, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from Crowborough town centre.

Around the centre of the village are numerous individual businesses along Crowborough Hill, that acts as a high street and ends at Farningham Road. Crowborough railway station, on the Uckfield branch of the Oxted line, was historically known as Crowborough and Jarvis Brook and serves the village.[3]
To the south, Jarvis Brook has a church opened in 1876 called the Rethoboth Chapel.
History
Jarvis Brook grew up around the railway, with factories being built around the area. The Crowborough Country Park was a clay quarry that supplied the Crowborough brickworks until it closed in 1980. In 2009, it was turned into a local nature reserve.[4]
