Saint Hill Manor

Student NUS Discount Free of Charge Built in 1792 by Gibbs Crawfurd, Saint Hill Manor East Grinstead is one of Sussex's finest sandstone buildings, with breathtaking views of unspoiled countryside. Impressive features include the magnificent black Spanish marble pillars added by the Maharajah of Jaipur, and the delightful 100-foot Monkey Mural, painted by Winston Churchill's nephew. The final owner, author L. Ron Hubbard, bought the Manor in 1959 and made it his family home, restoring much of the oak panelling and marble fireplaces. An impressive collection of Mr. Hubbard's published works is displayed in the library. There are 59 acres of grounds, lake and rose garden. Ideal for weddings and conferences. Open: All year. Guided tours on the hour 2-5pm. Open in morning by arrangement. Gardens open all day. Admission: Free of charge. Coach parties welcome. Teas served.
