Plumpton Place, Lewes, East Sussex: view from the Mill House across the lake to the old manor house

NOTES: Plumpton Place is a moated Elizabethan manor dating from 1568. By the 19th century it had been reduced to a couple of cottages. In 1928 the house was restored and remodelled for Edward Hudson (the first owner of Country Life) by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and the gardens landscaped in collaboration with Gertrude Jekyll.
