'''Pett''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in the [[Rother]] District of [[East Sussex]], [[England]]. The village is located five miles (8 km) north-east of [[Hastings]] on the edge of Pett Level, the one time marshes stretching along the coast of Rye Bay.
The road through the village leads down to the second village in the parish: [[Pett Level]] village, the coastal part of which is known as ''Cliff End''. Here there is a beach and, as the name suggests, is where the [[Weald]] [[sandstone]] cliffs reach their easternmost point. Pett Level marks the end of both the [[Royal Military Canal]] and the western end of the 1940s sea defence wall<ref>[http://pett-level.east-sussex.co.uk/ Notes on Pett Level]</ref>. The [[Saxon Shore Way]] passes through Pett Level.
Pett parish church is dedicated to St Mary and St Peter<ref>[http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Pett/PettStMary&StPeter2004.htm Parish church]</ref>; there is also a [[Methodist]] chapel, and a small CE church at Cliff End <ref>[http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/EastSussex/Pett/PettChurchMenu.htm Churches in Pett]</ref>
