Shulbrede Priory House open weekend

Now a private house with wall paintings and a vaulted undercroft, Shulbrede Priory was founded in 1190 for Canons following the rule of St Augustine, and was dedicated to St Mary, the Holy Cross and St Eustace. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the remaining buildings became a farmhouse and the Manor for the district. Yeomen and tenants of the Cowdray Estate lived here until the Ponsonby family came in 1902. The house is only open to the public four afternoons a year, this year including August 30th and 31st.

Homemade tea and cakes will be available, and there's an exhibition of work by Hubert Parry.
