Playden is a village and civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex, England. The village is located one mile north-west of Rye. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Pleidena; it is a largely rural parish, having no village centre, and the hamlet of Houghton Green is included in the parish. Playden's main occupation was fishing: the fish were salted in a one-time settlement known as Saltcote, after the fact that it had a fish salting industry based there. Saltcote Street is now all that remains of that industry.
The field in front of the Church formerly known as Beacon Oak Field was the site of a 15th century beacon at Sawcut , sighting from Tenterden and Alomsbridge . The beacon was in the form of a tar filled barrel in an oak tree that was burnt down around 1930 but the stump remains.
