Parham House
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex, Parham House sits on an estate originally granted by Henry VIII to Robert Palmer, and whose foundation stone was laid in 1577. After passing to the Bysshopp family in 1601 and then to the Pearson family in 1922, the house was meticulously restored and filled with furniture, paintings, textiles and fine 17th-century needlework. During the Second World War it hosted 30 evacuee children and later Canadian officers, and in 1948 it opened to the public. Today the estate spans 300 acres of parkland with fallow deer, a four-acre walled garden, an orchard, glasshouse, nursery and café, and remains a cherished family home open to visitors in season.
