Hammerwood Park

Hammerwood Park

Built in 1792 as a hunting lodge by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, architect of the Capitol and the White House, Washington DC. Owned by Led Zeppelin in the 1970s, and rescued from dereliction in 1982. Teas in the Elgin Room; copy of the Parthenon frieze; a derelict dining room still shocks the unwary. Restoration ongoing. Guided tours (said by many to be the most interesting in Sussex) by the family. Concerts held in summer.
