Stanmer Park

Stanmer Church stands within the grounds of Stanmer Park. Once home to the the 1st Earl of Chichester, Thomas Pelham, it is now maintained by Brighton & Hove City Council.

According to the website:
"This huge landscaped park with its wide-open spaces, woods and farmland is perfect for bracing walks and woodlands strolls.

One of its most unusual features is an entire village - including an 18th century stately home - that was completely private and hidden away until bought by the city in 1947.

English Heritage, under the National Heritage Act 1983, registered the park as a park of special historic interest as a Grade 2 site".
