Highley Manor, Balcombe

History

Highley manor has a fascinating history! In 1669 the Manor was home to the Shelley family and romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley moved to Highley from nearby Field Place in the early 19^th Century.

Towards the end of the 19th Century the Manor fell into disuse and was eventually demolished and the present building was erected in its place. However it was in the high living 1920’s that it achieved most of its fame and notoriety. The exiled King of Portugal took over the Manor from time to time and guests would be entertained by a young Sibyl Thorndyke.

Nowadays The Manor still keeps its 19th century charm and it will captivate you as soon as you arrive.
