HAMMERWOOD PARK

Set within picturesque Sussex parkland, Hammerwood Park is a Grade 1-listed country house and the first work of architect and polymath Benjamin Latrobe (1764-1820) celebrated for his later contributions to the White House and the Capitol in Washington D.C. Since 1982, the house has been the home of the Pinnegar family, who saved the historic property from dereliction and have continued to welcome visitors for guided tours, teas and concerts in the summer season.
