Herstmonceux Castle is one of the oldest significant brick buildings in England, and was built between 1441 and 1449. First by Sir Roger Fiennes, Treasurer of the Household of Henry VI, and after his death by Richard Fiennes, jure exhoris 7th Baron Dacre. 

Later, from the end of the 18th century the castle was dismantled and stayed an empty shell, until early 20th century. Between 1913 and 1933 it was restored and transformed into a private residence again.

The estate was acquired in the 1990s by the actual owners.
