Lot Essay

Parham Park situated in West Sussex, was originally owned by the Abbey of Westminster. The house was granted to Robert Palmer by King Henry VIII in 1540. The foundation stone of the Elizabethan house was laid in 1577 by the two year old Thomas Palmer and was subsequently bought in 1597 by Thomas Byshopp (later Sir Thomas Byhopp, 1st Baronet). The house and its estate remained within the descendents of the Byshopp family until acquired in 1922 by the Hon. Clive Pearson, younger son of the 1st Viscount Cowdray and together with his wife opened the house and gardens to the public in 1948.
