The Mid Sussex village was chosen from more than 400 entries and should it win will not only be given the prestigious crown of Britain’s best village but will also receive £10,000.

In each programme, which airs daily at 3pm, Dame Penelope and her team of three judges - archaeologist and village historian Alex Langlands; garden designer Juliet Sargeant and fashion designer and presenter Patrick Grant - each visit a different village. The four then make a tough decision of which is the best and will go into the semi-finals on Saturday.

Lindfield will appear on today’s programme at 3pm and is up against East Bergholt in Suffolk, Woburn in Bedfordshire and Cookhamin in Berkshire.

Dame Penelope chose to visit the area personally and is set to meet the harbour master of the village pond.
