Glynde Place

Glynde Place is a manor house built from local flint and imported Caen stone, positioned at the highest point of Glynde village in East Sussex. The building displays period architecture with a Grade II listed garden surrounding the property, offering visitors a complete view of both house and grounds.

Construction began in 1569 under William and Anne Morley to replace an earlier family home on the site. The building reflects the architectural style of the Elizabethan period and became an important country estate in the region.

The house hosts regular musical performances throughout the year and welcomes the Love Supreme Jazz Festival each summer. These events bring visitors to experience the grounds as a living cultural venue beyond its role as a historic home.

The house welcomes visitors during the early summer months with guided tours of both the interior and grounds available. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since exploring the property involves both indoor rooms and extensive gardens.

The estate has remained in the hands of just three interrelated families since its construction, an unusual continuity for an English country property. These family connections shaped how the house developed and adapted over time while maintaining its core character.
