Built in 1792 by Gibbs Crawfurd, Saint Hill Manor 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 590 published works are displayed in the library. There are 59 acres of grounds, lake and rose garden.
