Titsey Place's construction as we see it today, dates from 1775, however parts of the house go back to the Tudor period. The historic house contains a fine collection of family portraits, paintings, furniture...

The visitors can admire quite a number of highlights such as a magnificent painting of Canaletto and portraits from Reynolds, Lely...

The house is surrounded by gardens and parkland (200 ha/500 acres), including the restored (1992) kitchen garden, statues, lakes, the Golden Jubilee Rose Garden (opened in 2002), greenhouses, with a wide range of colourful exotic plants and orchids....

Family: Titsey Place was acquired in 1534 by Sir John Gresham and passed through the female line into the hands of the Leveson Gowers (a branch of Dukes of Sutherland family). The last family members, having no heirs, set up at the end of the 20th century, the Titsey Foundation to preserve the estate.
