Parham House

Parham Park is a country estate in the civil parish of Parham, between Storrington and Pulborough in West Sussex, England, within the South Downs National Park. Its centrepiece, Parham House, is a Grade I-listed Elizabethan country house begun in 1577 for the Palmer family on the site of an earlier

fortified manor. The estate comprises historic gardens, parkland, woodland and a fallow deer park at the foot of the Downs. The house, and its stables and laundry wing to the north, are both listed Grade I; the surrounding park and gardens are registered Grade II*. Much of the wider estate is designated as the biological Parham Park SSSI, noted for its lichen flora, relict bog, rare beetles and heronry.
