Southover Grange
This magnificent building was constructed in 1572 by William Newton, the Earl of Dorset from Caen stone from the demolished Lewes Priory. Once the home of John Evelyn the diarist, it has been extensively restored and now houses the district registry office. Unfortunately, unless you're getting married you won't be able to see the interior. However, most visitors will be delighted with the beautiful walled gardens. You'll be able to see one of the oldest Mulberry trees in England (over 350 years), Copper Beach, Indian Bean tree, and one of the largest Magnolia trees in the country. Each season the flower beds come alive in a blaze of colour. Just the place to get a load off after all that sightseeing and enjoy a little tranquillity.Location
