Laughton is a village and civil parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England.

The village is located five miles (8 km) east of Lewes, at a junction on the minor road to Hailsham (B2124).

The area of the battle, at the western end of Seaford, East Sussex seafront, is, consequently, now known as The Buckle.

It is a 8.7 acres (3.5 ha) site of biological interest consisting of grassy heath, scrub and woodland.

[5] Henry Pelham and Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle, successive 18th-century Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, were buried together at All Saints' Church in Laughton.
