Michelham Priory, East Sussex
Self-Drive/ Meet There
Explore 800 years of history at Michelham Priory House and Gardens, set on a picturesque moated island.
Founded by Augustinian canons in 1229, the site is steeped in history. During Tudor times the site suffered destruction caused by the dissolution of the monasteries, and in World War Two it was home to evacuees and the Canadian Army.
There are fascinating displays of furniture and artefacts, set in rooms reflecting different periods of Michelham Priory’s rich history. These include an historic kitchen and the World War Two evacuees’ bedroom. Children will enjoy the hands-on activities and outfits to try on.
Outdoors there are seven acres of beautiful grounds and buildings to explore including: the Elizabethan Great Barn; medieval gatehouse; and the kitchen, physic and medieval herb gardens.
The newly-refurbished cafe at Michelham Priory is now open, which means you have the choice of either buying refreshments from the cafe, or taking your own picnic to eat in the grounds.
