Glynde Place is situated at the top of the village of Glynde and has commanding views over the Weald and Sussex Downs.
The house was built in 1569 by William and Anne Morley, to replace the previous existing family home, from local flint, chalk and Caen stone. Glynde Place has passed from William and Anne, through three intermarried families, to the current owners.
Today it is the family home of Francis and Caroline Hampden and their three children.
You will be able to read about 500 years and more of family life at the house. Our guides will be available to answer any questions. There is a basic but beautiful tea room in the Coach House. You can get a cup of tea or coffee while you wait for your tour to start.
We are pleased to be able host private house and garden tours. Private house tours can be booked on Monday, Tuesday and Fridays during the months of May and June. From July to early October the private tours can be on any day Monday-Fridays.
