Southover Grange, Grade II* listed Tudor mansion in Southover, England
The two-story masonry building features original Tudor architecture with oak wall paneling, historic fireplaces, and wooden staircases throughout its interior spaces.
William Newton constructed Southover Grange in 1572 using stones from Lewes Priory, after receiving permission from Thomas Sackville, the first Earl of Dorset.
The building serves as the Lewes Register Office, hosting marriage ceremonies, civil partnerships, and citizenship ceremonies for the local community.
The gardens surrounding Southover Grange provide spaces for outdoor events, including theater productions and seasonal festivals throughout the year.
John Evelyn, the renowned diarist, spent his early childhood years at Southover Grange under the care of William Newton's grandmother.
