Today
There is one public house, the Crown, but no church or shops.
The village centre retains four of the area's listed buildings, all of Grade II:
A new village hall, built with the help of a £50,000 grant from the Sussex Downs and Low Weald LEADER programme, was completed early in 2010.[9]
The ecclesastical parish centres on an ancient Grade I listed church, St George in the middle of West Grinstead[10][11] The parishioners have undertaken to maintain the chancel in exchange for the grant from the glebe estate in 1511 of the church house, see chancel repair liability.[11] Similarly, across that village centre is the listed Catholic Church of our Lady of Consolation and St Francis.[12]
Transport
Dial Post was originally on the main but picturesque A24 road linking London, Epsom, Leatherhead, Horsham and Worthing, between Southwater and Ashington, but a straighter bypass exists to the east.[citation needed]
