Chilley Stream is a minor, 3.41-kilometre (2.12 mi) long stream (brook) of the Pevensey Levels in Hailsham, in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. It is a tributary of Pevensey Haven.[1] Rising from Burgh Fleet and Monkham Sewer, Chilley Stream acts as a drainage ditch for several minor streams—including the distributary Manxey Sewer—although many of which are unnamed.[2]
