The Tudor Townhouse hiding a Serene Garden: Sackville House
Sackville House, High Street, East Grinstead, West Sussex, RH19 3DE
Join us for free public open days in East Grinstead. We are opening Sackville House in association with Heritage Open Days for the first time in two years. Come along and learn more about this fascinating building and its most recent restoration made possible by a grant from the Culture Recovery Fund.
Built about 1520, this is a substantial timber-framed house with rooms of wood and lime plaster and the patina of centuries past. When you enter the yard you escape the bustle of modern day East Grinstead and find yourself in a large, peaceful garden. It was rescued in 1919 and was bequeathed to us in 1995, so that everyone could enjoy it.
Free Admission and information on the building's history and children's activity sheets will be available. Dogs are welcome in the garden only. Visitors are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the garden if the weather is dry.
