Selmeston is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England.

[3] The museum also holds later evidence of a Saxon burial site, located behind Manor Cottages.

The church existed at the time of its mention in the Domesday Book of 1086; it is dedicated to St Mary.

The church was originally Saxon, built in 1100, but after a fire in 1860 it was left as a ruin until 1867 when it was reconstructed by Ewan Christian with tile walls and a shingle spire.

Prior to Brexit in 2020, the village was part of the South East England constituency in the European Parliament.
