The other building is the Church of S. Dunstan. The original Church, constructed of wood, is said to have been built by S. Dunstan, and that observing its position was not due east and west, he very easily shifted it into its right place by his own unaided strength. The Church and the greater part of the village were in 1389 burnt down. The new building was then con-structed of stone. There is a legend that "whilst the workmen were engaged in building the stone church, Satan every night set wrong what had been done during the day. The print of his foot was also shown in the quarry, where he obstructed the workmen who were employed in procuring stone for the building."

There are some picturesque houses in the village - the "Lower House," said to be of the time of James I., and to be built of the stone taken from the Palace, and the "Middle House," a half-timbered building, dating from 1576, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

There are a few other picturesque buildings in the streets of the village.

It is uncertain whether Mayfield is mentioned in Domesday Book. In Reredfelle hundred is mentioned "Mesewelle," thus : - "The Earl (Mortain) himself holds Mesewelle. Godwine held it then and now for four hides. There is land for two ploughs, and there are four villeins and five bordars; in demesne one plough, and wood for thirty hogs; in the time of Edward it was worth £4; now 40s. Of this land William de Warrene holds three rods of land and one mill." It seems doubtful whether "Mesewelle" is meant for Mayfield or Maresfield.
