BY THE REV. EDWARD TURNER. IN the preceding volume I ventured to call the attention of the members of our Society to the ancient manorial residences of Sussex, now reduced to farm-houses; hoping it might be the means of inducing some of them to take up this interesting branch of Archæology, and to apply it to any houses of this kind there might happen to be in their own immediate neighbourhood; and few parishes are there in the county which will not furnish such a subject. I regret, however, to be obliged to add that it has not been attended as yet with any success. I shall, therefore, proceed to point out the claims which Greatham House, another of this class of residence, has to their notice; and I am the more anxious to do so, because of late years it has been deprived of much of its archæological character. To add to its comfort as a residence it has been so altered, both externally and internally, that these claims are in danger of being lost sight of by all, except the experienced antiquary, whose practised eye will not fail to discover, in spite of sash windows, and an outside display of Roman cement, something in, and about it, to convince him, that it is not what the so-called improver would fain wish it to be considered, a modern residence; and upon an examination of its structure he will find his suspicions fully confirmed. Its substantial stone walls and massive roof will lead him to recognize in it the remains of an old mansion, for it is a part only of the original house, converted into a residence for the occupiers of the farm. Of these, three generations of one family held it from the time it ceased to be the residence of the proprietors, until about the year 1850, a |
