It lies in the Weald immediately south of the Greensand Ridge and has a railway station at South Nutfield which is one stop from Redhill, on the Redhill to Tonbridge Line.

Nutfield appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as Notfelle. It was held by Countess Ida of Boulogne (2nd wife of Count Eustace). Its domesday assets were: 3 hides; 1 church, 16 ploughs, 1 mill worth 2s, 10 acres (40,000 m²) of meadow, herbage worth 12 hogs. It rendered £15 per year to its feudal overlords.

At the end of the 12th century, Nutfield was held by Hubert de Anstey and his wife Dionysia, then in 1210 it passed to his son and heir Nicholas de Anstey.

The church is to St Peter and St Paul and is a II* listed building, built in the 13th century, with rebuilt tower in 1786 made of coursed stone to the base of the tower, rubblestone above and Horsham slabs feature in the chancel. It has three bay nave arcades, 13th century, on round piers with corbelled arches, a 14th-century corbelled chancel arch on attached piers with moulded capitals and a blocked 13th century arch to the north chapel. There are continuous mouldings to the tall impressive tower arch. The rubble stone walling is revealed in the chancel. There are two stained glass windows (one strong in blue and green) by Edward Burne-Jones.
