Buxted Park Hotel, Nr Uckfield

Geschichte

Buxted Park dates back to the 12th century and has been enjoyed as a seat of power and prestige for many of those 900 years. The present house was built almost 300 years ago by Thomas Medley, whose family had been keepers of the Privy Purse in the reign of Henry VIII. Thomas Medley himself had been a renowned barrister, however he made a fortune in his own right by using the opportunity of the war against France to introduce the English to port wine and it was this money that built the beautiful house we enjoy today.

At the beginning of the 20th Century the house was purchased by the renowned designer of the Savoy in London, Basil Ionides. He and his wife were great entertainers and good friends of George V and Queen Mary who were regular guests at house. Over the years, the house has played host to society’s movers and shakers including William Wordsworth, Winston Churchill and Marlon Brando.

Buxted Park is now having a revival under the present owners Hand Picked Hotels. This grand old house is once again a seat of power, where leaders of industry and commerce come to review and decide on future direction, or take an opportunity to recharge batteries.
