Stone Sculpture - Southover Grange
Southover Grange, Lewes was formerly known as Southover House or Southover Priory. It was built by William Newton in 1572. The date is placed on the spandrels of the Newton Room fireplace
In the 1790s the Prince of Wales, who later became the Prince Regent and King George IV, often stayed at the Grange, sleeping in what is now known as the Regent’s bedroom
The gardens are divided into two almost equal parts by the Winterbourne stream and are remarkable for some magnificent trees.
Outside the Ainsworth Room on the charming stone-flagged terrace is sculpture by John Skelton and nearby is a fine Magnolia Grandiflora and an equally fine Mulberry tree.
