Laughton Place, Grade II* listed building in Laughton, England
The remaining red brick tower of Laughton Place stands as a solitary structure, featuring an octagonal staircase turret and crenellated brick parapet with terracotta decorations.
Sir William Pelham constructed Laughton Place in 1534 on a moated site, with significant Gothic-style modifications made between 1753 and 1760 by Henry Pelham.
The preservation of Laughton Place represents the architectural heritage of Sussex, displaying the evolution of English construction methods from Tudor to Georgian periods.
The Landmark Trust maintains and operates the tower as a holiday accommodation, allowing visitors to experience the historical architecture from the inside.
Archaeological studies in 1984 revealed that the original moat contained eight interval turrets within its brick wall enclosure, indicating advanced defensive features.
