Parham Park, Parham, West Sussex

This is one of the finest houses in Sussex. There was a fortified house here in the Middle Ages, and some parts of this are incorporated in the east wing of the present building. But the main bulk of the house was built by Sir Thomas Palmer from 1577 onwards. It was sold by his grandson to Sir Thomas Bisshopp in 1597. The Bisshopp family, who succeeded to the Barony of Zouche in 1815, retained it until it was sold to the present owners in 1922.
