One of the top twenty in Simon Jenkins’s book "England’s Thousand Best Houses", Parham is one of the country’s finest Elizabethan examples. Idyllically set in the heart of a 17th century deer park, below the South Downs, the house contains a particularly important collection of needlework, paintings and furniture. The spectacular Long Gallery is the third longest in England. The award winning gardens include a four acre walled garden with stunning herbaceous borders, greenhouse, orchard, potager and herbiary. All the flowers used in the house are home grown. Parham has always been a much-loved family home. Now owned by a charitable trust, the house is lived in by Lady Emma Barnard, her husband James and their family.
