Stanmer House

Stanmer House

Stanmer House is a Grade I listed mansion west of the village of Falmer and north-east of the city of Brighton and Hove.It stands very close to Stanmer village and Church, within the Stanmer Park. Constructed in 1722 in a Palladian style for the Pelham family, it incorporates the remains of an earlier house, and was again altered in 1860.

Close to the University of Sussex campus, the house was used as a university administration building for some years while the campus was being built.

After undergoing extensive renovation it reopened in June 2006. It is available to hire for weddings and functions and is open to the public once a week on Tuesdays.
