This timber-framed hall house sits on the western edge of Ashdown Forest in the picturesque Wealden village of West Hoathly. Built in the fifteenth century for the Priory of St. Pancras in Lewes, the property was seized by Henry VIII in 1538 and belonged in turn to Thomas Cromwell, Anne of Cleves, Mary I and Elizabeth I. In the sixteenth century, central chimneys and a fine Horsham stone roof were added when it became a substantial yeoman farmer's house. The Priest House celebrates 100 years as a museum in 2008 and contains collections of seventeenth and eighteenth-century country furniture, ironwork, textiles and domestic objects displayed in furnished rooms. Standing in the colourful surroundings of a traditional cottage garden, the house is the only one of its kind open to the public in the Weald. The garden includes borders of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, wild flowers and over 170 culinary, medicinal and household herbs.
