‘Renaissance splendour in decay’ is a description once given to the ruins of Slaugham Places near Cuckfield in Sussex. The dramatic ruins of this once great Elizabethan manor house has recently been restored and made safe under the supervision of English Heritage. Twelve acres of beautiful grounds comprising gardens, bridges, river and moat, all set in the peace and quiet of the Sussex countryside, make a magnificent location for every type of function from weddings to corporate promotions.
