Springtime at Parham
Thursday, 29th May
Starting with a lovely drive through the South Downs to West Sussex we travel to Midhurst and then onto Parham House and Gardens.
We set out from opposite Lidl in Seaside at 8.30 am, and then the Avenue at 8.45 am.
On arrival at Midhurst we stop for a morning refreshment break where historic streets offer many independent shops in a beautifully quintessential market town. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Close by are Cowdray Park ruins
The house was destroyed by fire in 1790 and is where Guy Fawkes worked briefly as a footman.
Once refreshed our scenic tour takes us to Parham House dating from 1577, where beauty and peace prevail. Take a walk through the pleasure gardens, a four acre walled garden, the orchard or around the lake of deer park. Peace can be found in St. Peters Church.
Parham is one of the countries finest Elizabethan houses with an impressive Great Hall and Long Gallery containing rare collections of furniture, needle work and paintings.
Throughout the house flower arrangements are very much a feature, offering that homely touch. Refreshments can be found in the Mower Shed Cafe, while gifts and plants are in their respective venues.
