The High Street, with its cluster of shop, houses and pub, hardly allows a glimpse of the high pitched roofs of Penshust Place which stands so close.
The manor house that lies at the heart of Penshust Place is the most complete example in England of 14th century architecture.
The house which was completed in has been the home of the Sidney family for years. The great hall has been described as one of the world's grandest rooms and its 6 metre long 15th century trestle tables it contains are unique.
The gardens' origins are as old as the house's and unusually they retain their Elizabethan framework which was destroyed in so many other gardens by 18th century "improvers". The house is built of local sandstone and its rich brown streaks are enhanced by the use of different sized blocks to give a randomly mottled effect. The garden is one of the oldest in private ownership. The earliest records are dated , and much of the garden remains as it was in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
