Castle Goring, Arundel Road , Worthing - South Downs (NP)
Large house. Built by the poet Shelley's grandfather, Sir Bysshe Shelley, about 1797-8. The house was in very poor condition for many years. In 2013 the house was sold to a private individual who is now using it as a private residence and wedding/conference venue. Consent for change of use was granted and repairs to the roof, stairs and structural timbers were carried out but further repairs remain necessary, including to the glass dome.
