406 The Manor Barn, Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex

The Manor Barn and the ruins are now all that remain of the once mighty Manor of Bexhill, arguably the most pivotal residence in the history of the Old Town, and indeed the larger resort town of Bexhill-on-Sea.

 

At it’s height, the Manor House included 7 Reception Rooms, 19 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, 2 cottages, a garage block and detached ballroom (the Manor Barn).

 

From more humble beginnings, the Manor House has stood in the centre of the Old Town for 900 years. Until its demolition in 1967, the building was the second oldest structure town after St Peter’s Church.
