Some nearby towns comprise Lewes to the southeast and Hayward’s Heath to the northeast.
Burgess Hill is mainly located on the West Sussex part of the perimeter that divides the two counties, even though some territories of the World’s End district from the north east are situated crossways the boundary from East Sussex.

Even if a Roman road from London to Brighton Way was constructed by the Romans between London to the South coast and passing all the way through the area of nowadays Burgess Hill, there is no proof that the Romans have settled here.
The town has its roots in the communities of Clayton, Ditchling and Keymer. All these parishes are mentioned in the Doomsday Book. The Burgeys family gave the town its name, as the name John Burgeys is mentionedin the income tax rolls. In the Elizabethan period a group of people had established there itself and a lot of buildings that date from this age still stand nowadays.
By the seventeenth century little level tile and brick production was prosperous and during this period some parcels from the common land were transferred in property for small businesses and house building. Brick manufacture extended by the eighteenth century and t one or two alehouses and four shops on the common were established then. Craftsmen such as shoemakers’, weavers and smiths also worked there. Hand Brickmaking was undertaking till very recent times, by Keymer Tiles. His tiles are to be found in buildings like as Piccadilly, St. James Church or in the Manchester Central Station.
