Parham House and Gardens, West Sussex

Posted By Ina Woolcott

After visiting Parham House last week Sunday (19th October) for the Autumn Foraging Event, I personally recommend anyone with kids into nature and also a bit of history to visit Parham House and Gardens.

Parham House is owned by a Charitable Trust and the home of Lady Emma and Mr. James Barnard and their family. This beautiful Elizabethan house is set in an ancient deer park below the Downs near Pulborough, West Sussex. It is surrounded by some 875 acres of working agricultural and forestry land, including designated areas of Special Scientific Interest. Around the house stretch the 300 acres of ancient deer park, whose fallow deer are descendants of the original herd first recorded in 1628. There is also an award-winning romantic walled garden, pleasure grounds, lake, maze and historic wendy house. To be seen are an important collection of historic portraits, furniture, paintings and notable early needlework. A café/restaurant is also on site.
