Alfriston Clergy House, Medieval clergy residence in Alfriston, England
The timber-framed Alfriston Clergy House stands near St Andrew's Church, featuring a traditional thatched roof and two-story structure with medieval architectural elements.
Built between 1399 and 1407 as a farmer's house, this Grade II listed building became the residence for parish priests and their housekeepers through centuries.
The interior preserves original features including a rare chalk and sour milk floor, moulded beams, and a collection of metalwork from different historical periods.
National Trust members receive free admission to explore both the house and its cottage garden, while regular visitors can purchase tickets at the entrance.
In 1896, the National Trust purchased this property for £10, making it their first acquired building and establishing their preservation methodology.
