This Grade II-listed farmhouse in Ringmer near Lewes has recently gone on sale for £2.5 million. Clayhill House was built in the mid 16th Century by William Newton, who also built the grand Southover Grange in Lewes.
Photos: Zoopla Newton had moved from Cheshire in 1544 and lived at Lewes Priory, leased at the time by King Henry VIII’s fourth wife, Anne of Cleves. He built Clayhill House for his second son with a timber frame, brick and a clay roof. The seven-bedroom home comes with several outbuildings including a Sussex Barn, a former milking parlour and cow sheds, a separate granary, a cart shed and an open garage.
AN artist who tragically lost his wife seven years ago is getting married today after finding his “lockdown love” on a dating website. Philip Dunn was devastated when his wife of almost 35 years, Carole-Anne White, took her own life in 2013 after many years of battling severe depression. At the time, Philip said he was finding it “almost impossible” to carry on after his loss. The 75-year-old artist, who is well known for his vibrant paintings of Brighton seafront and colourful striped deckchairs, moved out of the city to Ditchling in 2010.
