MenuThe Long Man of Wilmington, Sussex
The Long Man of Wilmington is a hill figure on the steep slopes of Windover Hill near Wilmington, Sussex. The human figure is approximately 236ft tall and is represented with a staff in each hand. The date of the figure is unknown although it has been suggested that it may be of prehistoric or Roman origin. More recent excavations have suggested a date in the 16th or 17th century AD. The current outline of the Long Man is largely the result of a 'restoration' of 1873–74, led by the vicar of Glynde, Reverend William de St Croix. The monument is within the council area of Wealden (East Sussex).
