Sussex Past Properties
The properties featured on this website include:
 
 
Anne of Cleves House
Anne of Cleves House is a 16th century timber-framed Wealden hall-house that formed part of Anne's divorce settlement from Henry VIII in 1541. The house contains wide-ranging collections of Sussex interest, including Sussex pottery, and the bedroom and kitchen are furnished to reflect an earlier period.

Bull House, Lewes, East Sussex
A listed building in the heart of Lewes, once the home of revolutionary writer, Thomas Paine – now for the first time to be opened to the public.

Fishbourne Roman Palace
Fishbourne Roman Palace was discovered by accident during the digging of a water main trench in 1960. The discovery led to nine seasons of excavations that showed the site had developed from a military base at the time of the Roman invasion in AD43 to a sumptuous Palace by the end of the first century. Over the last five years, new excavations by the Sussex Archaeological Society have revealed exciting new insights into this development.

Lewes Castle
From the high towers of Lewes Castle visitors can see both the town and the distant views of downs, river and forest. The best way to appreciate this view is to visit Barbican House Museum first and watch 'The Story of Lewes Town', a sound and light show based on a scale model of the town.

Marlipins Museum
Marlipins Museum, at 36 High Street in Shoreham-by-Sea, is housed in one of the oldest and most attractive lay buildings in Sussex. Its distinctive chequer board facade is well loved by artists and shows that cross Channel links are nothing new, as it blends Sussex flint with Norman Caen stone.

Michelham Priory
Michelham Priory is a beautiful historic property nestling deep in the Sussex countryside and offers much to interest visitors – history, exhibits, superbly kept gardens, art exhibitions, wildlife, working watermill.

The Long Man of Wilmington
The Long Man of Wilmington, mysterious guardian of the South Downs, has baffled archaeologists and historians for hundreds of years.

The Priest House
Standing in the beautiful surroundings of a traditional cottage garden on the edge of Ashdown Forest, the Priest House is an early 15th century timber-framed hall-house with a dramatic roof of Horsham stone.
